Cinematic Movement is effective at smoothing pans while preserving a natural film look. Stronger processing is rarely necessary.
Pros: resolution, contrast ratio
Cons: HDR10+ support, account requirements
LG’s motion interpolation works well when used selectively, reducing film judder without needing the strongest settings.
Pros: display technology, response time
Cons: setup ease, account requirements
Low interpolation settings can smooth motion without immediately creating a soap-opera effect. Pushing the controls higher introduces more artificial-looking movement and artifacts.
Pros: overall image accuracy, resolution
Cons: motion clarity, response time
Cinematic Movement can add useful smoothness without obvious artifacts, while stronger settings may hesitate or create an artificial look.
Pros: panel type, display technology
Cons: account requirements, DTS support
Low settings can smooth film without an obvious soap-opera look, but stronger processing introduces artifacts, excessive smoothness, or a darker image.
Pros: resolution, HDR format support
Cons: software updates, account requirements
Default smoothing can look overly processed, floaty, or soap-opera-like. Reducing the setting helps, but reviewers still find motion compromised.
Pros: local dimming performance, HDR format support
Cons: gradient handling, banding control
