4K TV Picture Juddering

[Harrison]

I've learnt that now. As I said my other Philips 4K TV doesn't suffer from this but I need to dig through the settings to see if it is active or not. I'm guessing it's off by default on that one.

Your description of it looking like being filmed by a camcorder is spot on. When we got the TV we were watching a film and my wife commented on it looking quite different and not quite right. Now we know why.

I think that they usually enable it by default. Don't ask why though.

We bought a 55Q70 sammy and it's been great, I turned all that extra junk off when I set it up as I hate the cheap looking 'soap opera effect' too.

BUT the first time we watched something in 4K HDR all the settings changed and I had to go back and look for 'film-maker mode' and all sort of other stuff to turn off.

Funnily enough, it was when we watched Rise of Skywalker (heaps disappointing BTW) on Disney+ that it happened. Not an immersive way to begin a movie, having to pause it and delve into menus because the spaceships looked shit.

Don't understand why it switched back when playing HDR? I know that if you use different profiles you have to change it in all of them. On my beamer I use 2 profiles, one for movies and one for gaming, but on the TV I just leave it on Standard mode, which is fine. HDR anyway has it's own setting, which could then again be the reason.

I think HDR must have been the reason. When I turned that on for my Samsung all other settings changed again and I had to turn all the soap opera stuff off again. But it's auto remembered it now for each mode when I checked.

You can see how a lot of people not technically minded get confused with TVs these days. And so many just use them on the factory settings and have no idea why it looks a bit wrong, or just moan it can't handle movement on screen very well and just put it down to the TV being rubbish. You would think after all these years and the speed of TV processors they could code judder reduction that actually works, instead of making it worse. And having the settings on by default will just ruin the manufacturers reputation with those that don't understand why.

Sky Q HD & UHD boxes gave us the same shit on our Panasonic 55" OLED.

Didn't matter if Sky, Netflix or now Amazon on the Q UHD Box.... Stutter!! - Utter Laggy crappy BS stutter left to right or up & down....

Sky Q Settings/Settings/Setup/Audio Visual/Judder Reduction for all Apps (Last Option)..... Set it to "ON" No more BS...

Set it to "ON" by default then eh!

[Harrison]

I didn't actually know that setting was in Sky Q. I tend to watch Prime, Netflix and Disney+ directly through the TV rather than via the Sky box. I think the image looks a bit crisper directly from the TV apps.
