Part of it is the jump in resolution to 1080P on most larger flat-panel sets now, and some of it is adding sharpness.

What I really suspect, though, when you say it is "unreal" and "odd" in particular, is that the display models are sets with 120 Hz refresh rate, and the store has turned on a feature called "frame interpolation". 120 Hz refresh can be a good thing for movies when used in the "5:5 pulldown" mode, but instead they add this interpolation that can give everything the "soap opera look".
