Have you bought a new TV, but do you feel that you are watching a cheap soap opera instead of a movie experience? The blame is often one single feature that is enough to turn off – and the image is once unrecognizable.
TV for hundreds of euros, but a picture of the series 20 years ago?
You know the feeling: the TV was shining perfection in the store, the colors were rich, the picture sharp and the scenes were film. But at home, after turning on, you are disappointed. The characters move strangely smoothly, the colors are exaggerated and the image resembles a soap opera.
This phenomenon is called “The effect of the soap opera” or even “SOAP OPERATION”. Fortunately, it is possible easily removed.
What is it? Feature that manufacturers turn on automatically
The problem causes the so -called. Image last time – most often referred to as TruMotionbut also:
- Auto Motion Plus (Samsung),
- Motionflow (Sony),
- Perfect Natural Motion (Philips),
- Ultra fluency of movement or Highlighted (different brands).
This feature artificially complements the interdakerswhich did not exist in the original video – the result is an unnaturally smooth movement that looks cheap and artificial.
What does Trotion serve – and when is it harmful?
The main goal of Trotion is To improve the perception of rapid movement – Fits, for example, at:
- sports transmissions,
- action games,
- dynamic animations.
But for movies and series, it disrupts the original intention of the creators – The film look disappears, the blurring of movement and the overall impression is non -authentic.
How to turn off Trotion (and its alternatives)
The exact name and location varies by brand, but you can find the feature on most TVs in:
- image settings,
- Under the bookmarks like movement, the clarity of movement, interpolation or Advanced settings.
We recommend:
- Open the TV menu and go to Setting an image.
- Find the item as TruMotion, Motion Interpolation, Motion Smoothing and turn it off.
- Set the image if necessary manually – Adjust contrast, sharpness, color balance and brightness to suit your eyes.
Extra tip: Do not use preset modes
Modes such as “dynamic” or “standard” are often adapted to sales lighting in stores, not the real home living room. If you want a cinema image, set it up by hand:
- color temperature: warm or natural,
- sharpness: mild. Not the maximum,
- Contrast a Jas: balanced by room,
- Turn off any “reality improvements” or “deep black”.
Conclusion: a small step in the menu, a big difference on the screen
If a new TV didn’t warm you up as you hoped It does not mean that you made a bad purchase. Manufacturers often set the image according to sales strategies, not a film experience. Just one minor adjustment – turning off the interpolation of movement – and the image will once come close to what you know from the cinema.
