Picture TOO real?!

[hunnyy]

I've recently bought a Samsung 32" LED TV (UE32C6510) for bedroom viewing. Beautiful design, and Freeview viewing looks great.

Just one thing. Watching blu-rays, the picture is very detailed and lustrous, but. . . films have the appearance of "video" film, like in a BBC studio. There's no "filmic" quality. Is this because the picture is so "real", or is it the result of processing that can be turned off or trimmed back? I already have most processing options turned off.

Any thoughts/insight much appreciated.

Have you tried the "Movie Mode" option?

I have encountered this with quite a few Samsung sets only, oddly. I know exactly what you mean.

I think its the motion plus your talking about i.e the 100hz processing, try tuning it down or off, i think this will remove this effect.

In the advance settings menu you need to set the motion plus to clear, I had to do this on my brother in laws at the weekend

I have the same TV (well, the C6530, the black version, yours would be white if I remember correctly?). As has been said, it sounds like Motion Plus is on the Standard or Smooth modes with you - Clear is a decent compromise, but my suggestion is to switch it to Custom, and then manually adjust Blur and Judder Reduction levels to suit your taste. Experiment with various combinations - BR is set to 10 on mine (since, IMO, it does a good job of cleaning up motion without making it look like video), and JR set to 4 (making motion smooth, but not too smooth and sped-up, ruining the look of films).

Let us know how it goes, and also if you have any other issues with the TV. It's nice to discuss your TV with another owner!

Thank you all for your input. I'll try the suggested tweaks and let you know how I get on!
