MrJay60:
Does anyone have a T.V with these options? I understand that LG and Samsung now implant it on their newer range of sets but how does it perform? Can you reduce judder so you don't get artifacts but some judder remains slightly so you don't get the soap opera effect or Trumotion/Motionplus problems?
My Samsung LED has two manually adjustable Motion settings, Blur Reduction and Judder Reduction, which range from 0-10.
I was always in David's camp of 'turn off all the artifical processing' before, but I've found that (unfortunately) leaving it off on my Sammy leaves much to be desired (as opposed to my previous, short-lived Sony 703, which looked best with everything off). Ultimately, I concluded that I needed to experiment with these settings to combat the motion issues.
Therefore, I have Blur Reduction set all the way to 10 - this doesn't ruin the filmic look of movies at all, but it just does what it says on the tin, and keeps fast-moving objects looking more distinct and less smeary.
It's Judder Reduction you have to be careful with - from setting 4 upwards, the look of films is destroyed, leaving everything looking blatantly sped-up and unnatural. But at around level 3 or 4, it does a nice job of smoothing things out without going too far.
