Does the Trumotion give this TV the "Soap Opera Effect" with regular programming? Can that be turned off?

There is no soap opera effect with this TV. This TV is apparently a 60HZ panel that LG is trying to claim "Trumotion 120HZ." Apparently LG started these shenanigans with some of its 2012 models. HDGURU wrote an interesting article on its website about this called "When 120HZ is not really 120HZ." There are also no menu options for changing the "Trumotion" settings on this TV, LG claims 120 HZ is "always on." Even though this TV is likely not 120HZ it still looks amazing and 3D is spectacular. This set is definitely a great value and most won't be disappointed unless of course you prefer the "soap opera" effect.

I got settings from tweak tv and c-net forums. The settings from c-net are more accurate for watching HD programming, you should use those.

I don't think so but am no electronic whizz. I just turn the TV sound to mute and then no one else is bothered by what I am watching. Have had them for 5 months and use them almost daily and still LOVE them.

I have only noticed a minor motion 'jerkiness' on a couple of TV shows, but I attribute it to my satellite receiver, otherwise Sports in HD and DVD viewing are phenomenal! I will look into the owners manual, to see if I can find anything. You say it is intermittent...for all viewing or on certain shows? Also, are you viewing via cable or satellite?

One thing I've noticed is to turn off the 3 modes of noise reduction in picture settings. It depends on the content you are watching, but I work with Sony TVs and own this one, and once I did that, all of them started to look better.

For me, the low and medium settings would be fine while watching TV. The high setting *might* be intrusive.

Hey.. no it does not have the soap opera effect. The 120 does clean up motion smearing, as you can easily see the improvement on moving text. I don't like the soap opera effect on film sources,so, I am glad it does not do that.

I am sure the question concerns the motion flow feature, and this can be turned off. All that it does is make the picture movements smoother during fast scene changes. It is always on for normal TV. Info is on page 49 of the manual, under picture settings.

Not that I know of. One of my problems with this series of LG TV's (I have the 42" version) is that a lot of the functions are just too much trouble, including the one you mentioned. Closed caption is a another good example. You can't set it to come on automatically when you put the TV on mute, or even have a 1 or 2-step toggle on the remote to turn closed caption off and on. Sorry I couldn't give you a positive "how-to" in answer to your question.

Soap Opera Effect- I don't have this problem, so far. I think LG's TruMotion technology, with the 240 MHz, is the way to go. AmazonPrime movies, Blu-ray/3D player, YouTube clips,etc. are playing smoothly and flawlessly on my TV.

It has Dynamic, Stsndard, movie, game and PC. Not sure what soap opera effect is.

Yes, you can turn it off manually by pressing on the bottom on the unit or on the remote. :)

Turning off the auto motion works for the standard television, but on my new Samsung, the Soap Opera effect is in full force when watching movies through Netflix, Vudu or Blockbuster. There appears to be no way that I can find to turn off the "soap opera effect" once your into the Internet TV mode. Any suggestions?

I saw something about turning off auto detect tv type or some setting like that on game consoles

You can turn off what's called "Motion Eye Care" for each input in the advanced settings of each input. This gets rid of the "soap opera" effect. I have this turned off on ALL my inputs, I do not care for it at all. After turning it off, the picture looks simply amazing! I love this TV and so do people who come over to watch movies with us. I hope that helps. ~Steve~

Jon there is no on/ off option for this device. It is strickly a filter for (when for example) when running a blender and the TV get all scratchy. This devive is used to plug in the blender to eleminate the scratches on the TV, while the blender is in use.

Nope, the effects are built in to each setting. You can go further into menus to turn them off, but there isn't a single switch to flip them off easily
