If you’re in a hotel room with an LG webOS TV that has TruMotion turned on but the menu item to change it is missing, there’s a way to reset the TV via the diagnostics mode!

Soap Opera Effect

I hate it when you’re the only one who can see the soap opera effect and you try and fix it but your whole family yells at you for messing with settings that “change nothing” but this is literally the only way you can watch the movie with them….

Here’s how to fix awful looking Movies on your brand new expensive TV

So you bought a brand new, expensive LCD TV and now you sit down to binge-watch your favorite show only to find it looks… totally different than it usually does? There’s nothing wrong with the TV or the content you’re watching, Wired explains, although sometimes there can be issues with those things, too. The TV has a built-in feature that turns Hollywood movies in a soap opera-like video mode that makes things look like they have been recorded in a different century.

TV Issue Resolved!

Some of you have been following the exchange of TV sets happening in my living room. In the last week, there's been 3 different TVs ... and as of about an hour ago, it was going to be 4! (Yes, I know) so the story...

The HD on the new Samsung TV looked TOO crisp! What was happening was everything started looking like a soap opera... or perhaps super high def videotape. Even big budget movies looked super cheesy and fake looking - hard to explain. It was driving me crazy though.

I Googled this soap opera effect, and everyone online claimed they had the answer in their settings. I tried matching other settings that people posted and NONE seemed to fix it. After searching more, I finally found the answer!!!

Find the "Auto Motion" settings and turn it OFF! Every other setting makes no difference to solve this problem.

What's going on is the Auto Motion 120Hz option is taking the original source material shot at 24 fps and it is adding additional frames between the existing frames which makes the fps appear to be 29.97 (this is standard video).

Why this information was so hard to find online? Who knows... I was ready to return the TV. Now, to make video games look better, It's best to turn back on that setting.

Anyway, I thought I'd save anyone a headache who ran into this problem.
