Motion smoothing, or "motion interpolation," enhances fluidity in live sports but can ruin the cinematic experience, often referred to as the "soap opera effect." Many enthusiasts prefer to turn off this feature to preserve the original filmmaking intent, as it can make films feel artificial. Different manufacturers label this feature differently, with Samsung using "Auto Motion Plus" and LG calling it "TruMotion." The article provides a guide on how to disable motion smoothing on various TV models to improve the viewing experience.
For many people, motion smoothing on TVs is only appropriate for gaming and watching live sports; enthusiasts typically prefer turning off the feature to watch anything else.
The cinematic film should not look like a daytime soap; you shouldn't feel like you're on the set with the actors, but the effect makes sense for live sporting events.
On most smart TVs, you can check the Picture settings for any feature that includes the word 'motion.'
