This is in regard to motion smoothing which is enabled by default on modern TVs, and give the effect of a soap opera look. People think that it makes the video look better, but it's just adding fake frames to display at a higher frame rate. Not a lot of people like this: https://variety.com/2022/film/news/motion-smoothing-how-to-shut-off-1235176633/

To make matters worse, all TV brands have their own name for this feature. This post is saying that when you go home for the holidays, this is the name of the motion smoothing in the settings to turn off for a better viewing experience the way the filmmaker intends.

Oh god this must be what my parents have on their TV- I thought it looked that way bc it's 4k. A soap opera look is exactly how I described it! That's been my only exposure to new/smart TVs

I agree that it's awful. Why do you think they enable it by default? What's their game?
