Motion smoothing was the first thing I turned off on my new LG TV when I got it this month. It’s a nice feature for sports, but it sucks for basically everything else - especially animation where everything turns into a hot mess.

This is a pet peeve of mine, walking into the house of a family member, business lobby, etc. and see awful looking video on the screen because they didn’t turn this garbage off.

Most TVs have a "game" mode which turns off the smoothing.

I’ve never personally seen a TV that can’t have the soap opera effect turned off, but I believe you they are out there.

Apples to oranges feature though.

it was the first thing i turned off when i bought my LG tv.

funny thing: i did not know the name of it and i couldn't not understand why "Avengers: Infinity Wars" was so upsetting to watch.

took me literally 20min of poking around to find out the option and turn it off (it's called "TruMotion").

Yea, it’s usually something with Motion or Smooth in it.

What’s crazy to me is that some people can’t see it! Or think they line it... or the lunatics that actually do!

Once you see it; I don’t think it can be unseen.
