"TVs are no longer just displays that you connect to a cable box or streaming device to make them smarter. Also: 21 hidden Netflix settings and secret codes everyone should know They're full-fledged computers now, complete with operating systems, app stores, background services, and internet connections. As a result, they come with a ton of hidden settings, permissions, and features that most people never know about or use."
"Many smart TVs have a motion smoothing feature, which you should go ahead and turn off. Often called a "soap opera" effect, it makes movies and TV shows look unnaturally smooth by inserting artificial frames between real ones. This can distort motion and cinematography. By turning it off, you can restore your movies and shows to the way they were intended to look. Samsung, LG, Vizio, and Roku TVs from TCL, Hisense, Sharp, and others all offer a motion smoothing feature."
Smart TVs function as full-fledged computers with operating systems, app stores, background services, and internet connections, which creates many hidden settings, permissions, and features. Small configuration changes can dramatically improve picture quality, performance, privacy, and security. Disable motion smoothing to avoid the "soap opera" effect and restore intended cinematography. Switch picture modes from bright, oversaturated presets to Filmmaker, Movie, or Cinema for accurate colors. Regular maintenance such as updating software, managing background apps, and adjusting privacy controls reduces data collection and keeps sets running smoothly and more securely with minimal trade-offs.
