Screen flickering from enabled Motion feature [television]

Screen flickering from enabled Motion feature option

Motion compensation is a function that was designed to improve the blurring effect of images in motion on an LCD/LED display panel by inserting a black frame between the video images.
Some manufacturers such as LG Electronics further innovated by developing image interpolation and resorting to black frame insertion as well.
Because of latency issue with liquid crystal cells, these panels struggled at properly rendering images in motion to get crisp and clear viewing.
This motion compensation function has the effect of improving the clarity of rapid moving picture on screen. Users get the benefit from watching Live TV sporting events such as tennis, football, hockey, etc.
When this function is enabled, the user may feel periodic, regular flickering depending on the environment in which the user is viewing TV content.
Since this is a normal operation for a special function to improve video image clarity, please adjust the menu according to viewing content type.

Note:

Motion compensation greatly improves rapid-moving image transition when the video source fed comes in at 60Hz or 120Hz. Enabling this feature to watch a 24fps movie will alter the image texture giving it a “in-your-face” too sheer realism which some customers like and purists don’t as it takes away from the intended “escaping reality” feel of a movie.

Cause and Symptoms

By enabling the Motion Pro/OLED Motion function or setting OLED Motion Pro to High, you may notice some screen flickering or darker image overall.
Setting Motion Pro/OLED Motion Pro to Off, and OLED Motion Pro to Off/Low/Normal/Auto, you may notice a brighter screen or some motion blurriness.
Less chances of coming across the latter with an OLED TV as OLED technology has no latency issues in comparison to LCD/LED panels.

Note:

Definition of: judder
A shaking or wobbling effect in a video image. Judder is often caused by the conversion of 24 frames-per-second (fps) movie content to 30 or 60 fps video format, or whenever viewing 24 fps movie content on a 60Hz display monitor. You may consult search words “téléciné”, “flicker” and “adaptive sync.” on the Internet for additional information.

Definition of: blur
Motion blur is when anything on-screen blurs, becoming fuzzy and less distinct, especially in motion. It can be a single object, like a ball or car, or the entire screen, like when the camera pans across a landscape.
Viewers mostly notice it when there's a face closeup, then the individual turns away. One second, every eyelash and wrinkle is clearly visible, the next it's a blurry mess.
