> Motion interpolation or motion smoothing increases the frames per second from 24fps to 60fps

It's pretty common for TVs to have even higher refresh rates these days - my 4 year old mid-range LG OLED is 120hz, for example. Conveniently, 24 evenly divides 120, so when you turn off the interpolation you get perfectly consistent frame times.

As a more general note, don't be afraid to experiment with the settings. If you're watching low-bitrate netflix streams, some of the artifact-reduction filters can be worthwhile, especially on the lower intensity settings.

For watching bluray remuxes however, "filmmaker mode" or equivalent settings is generally the way to go.




I can not believe people still turn on Soap Opera Mode.

If I walk into a bar or restaurant and see a TV with it, it's instantly offensive from 20ft away. It boggles my mind how people really can't see it, or think it looks good.


My LG OLED had intermittent contrast issues that persisted after toggling every permutation of picture bell and whistle. After finally stumbling across the correct search term, it turned out the offending feature was hidden in a maintenance menu that requires a button that only exists on service remotes… The same issue was fixed in an update for newer models. Tons of forum posts on the subject resulted in RMAs and refunds. How did we get like this?
