Turn off "video tape effect" in smart TV app

Hi all:

So, I recently started taking advantage of the Netflix app on my Vizio P602ui-B3. It's a 3yo 4K Smart TV. I've disable the live-motion or whatever it's called on your TV on the signal coming in from DTV, Blu-Ray, etc. But, the built-in apps (well, only tested on Netflix) still has that video-tape look. Anyone run into this on their own TV - any make/model - and figured a way around it? It's not a Netflix setting. I know it's a long shot, but, if you don't ask...

Thanks!

I don't have that TV but on the TVs I have owned the video settings are independent from each other between HDMI inputs and built in apps. So if you disabled the feature on the HDMI input, did you go into the picture settings while the app was running and disable it again?

I read this a couple times and I'm confused (normal for me). I've never had a motion problem with my sets but I know folks who have with Samsungs. Seems like all they do is kill the motion thing in the settings and they're good. Perhaps Jimmie can help, I think he had some soap opera effect problems, or was that just juddering?

I believe that's more commonly called "the soap opera effect", is that what you meant? Never having had anything but a Samsung 4K set I can't comment on how you would get rid of that effect.

My old LG 1080P 47UA5500 (now mom's) has 4 HDMI inputs. It has a setup wizard. After you run it it asks "would you like to copy this to the other inputs?" It also has Netflix, Hulu, YouTube and othe apps. You have to turn off "TrueMotion" for each HDMI port and each app. My guess the reason for input independent settings is for tailoring them to different sources: a bluray player, PS4, Xbox 1 Xbox 1 Xbox 1, Genie, OTA etc.

I set them all to THX movie (THX preset values) and TrueMotion to 1/1

Some (maybe all, I only checked a couple) of my Panny plasmas do have individual settings for each input, my Sammy 4Ks don't seem to.

On my LG, not only do you have to turn this off for every input but for every pre-set within that input. for example if I change to room dark to room light, I have to turn it off there. If the 4k kicks in HDR, I have to turn it off there.

I have no idea why TV manufacturers are so in love with this ridiculous 'feature'. This should be something you have to turn on, not turn off.

I know Jimmie has made changes to his 2017 Series 7 Samsung and I know he's gonna read this. Let's see if he knows if the Sammys have this.

I do agree, it should be an option you have to choose. Why do the makers do this? It does seem "ridiculous". I never noticed it on my plasmas but they seem to have that feature.
