How is this TV with Motion Blur? Has anyone experienced this problem, or heard of this with LCD's?

I've read numerous times on many reviews that this TV has no motion blur and is completely useful for fast movies and video games.

Although this is an old question, my answer may help new buyers. I've owned this TV since 2010 and the "ghosting" effect on darker images in games has annoyed the H out of me for the last 4 years. Now that my warranty is about to run out I don't feel guilty about buying another tv. Apparently this is a common complaint on Samsung LED's.

Zero lag to the naked eye, mine anyway, very minimal motion blur, there's always gonna be a little...even on $5000 set. The tested response time, I believe, is under 25 ms which placed it 4th out of 5 tv's (the Panasonic was out of is league with the other 4 as they were priced at a minimum of $1300 and still beat at least one! ). Hope this helps.

I can only comment on the Sanyo brand. Prior to purchasing this TV I had purchased a 55" Sanyo 240hz 6mo prior. I did notice a slight difference from the two. It was almost like motion sickness, not as bad as when I first went from 120hz to 240hz. My first big TV was a Toshiba and it lasted for over 10yrs, and was still working when I gave it to a friend. So far I love this TV and I would recommend buying it. But beware of the Toshiba blu-Ray 3D DVD, that was a P.O.S. I ended up breaking it into little small pieces just to get my DVD out of it. I had problems with it 30 days after purchase and it got worse. I can only comment on the Sanyo brand. Prior to purchasing this TV I had purchased a 55" Sanyo 240hz 6mo prior.

Motion blur is a very subjective thing. Everyone seems to look at it differently. In my opinion, TV's that are built for a standard refresh rate (60hz) are generally the most consistent to how they deal with motion blur, because it's a well established standard, so everyone designs for it. If you're using a non-standard refresh rate (say 120hz), then the software has to deal with modifying the input, and you have some sort of conversion going on. I've seen TV's that look *terrible* even on simple camera pan's, because they use a non-standard refresh rate and the software deals with it poorly. On the other hand, the owner of that TV swears it looks great (maybe because he shelled out $$$ for it). The absolute best thing you can do is to see it in person. That's really the only way you can tell if it's going to work for you or not. Partially as well it depends on TV settings and input source (and settings), so this is something that can be really difficult to figure out before you pull the trigger on your purchase. Fortunately Amazon does have a good return policy, so the best thing may be to buy it, try it, and return it if you don't like it.

I'd like to see some pictures from others as well. My 48" TCL's picture is so incredibly grainy, it's distracting. A HD TV shouldnt look like this when displaying 1080 content.

even though its just 60 hz I am not see the blur or the blockyness I have seen on other tvs 1-2 years ago. This is even hooked up to my computer playing the latest games and im happy with it. Its great! I watched the Steelers win again on this tv and it was awsome. I did not experience any motion related problems that I could tell or remember anything like that that irritated me. I am a little picky and after only 3 weeks owning the superbowl to me was a big test and this little 32 inch xbr6 passed as far as im concerned.

How big of a difference is the picture with the glitch when watching a BD? I am strongly leaning towards buying this TV. If this is only a minor flaw I am going to buy it, I just don't see paying $700 more dollars for the 860 just for this glitch. Is watching BD without cinema smooth that much of a difference? Thank you.

OK so I am thinking about buying this TV. I am most interested in picture quality and price, but of course there is more to buying a tv. So can anyone here tell me if they have buyers remorse, and if so, what do you wish you had done instead??

Would any of you who own this TV please speak up your experience? I'm considering a buy until seeing this thread. Please help. Thanks. Luan

Mine is great. The picture is very good. I mean that because I have a panasonic 65vt50 and after watching that I can still enjoy watching this one. So it most not be that bad if my eyes can stand the change from the best you can buy to this tv. It's currently in my bedroom

One thing I would like to know if this TV handles 1080p/24 correctly. According to cnet and other source 553 did not handle 1080p/24 correctly and used a 3:2 pulldown. That would lead to motion artifacts in some scenes.

Thanks for your answer, JD! I thought so. Oh, I saw it at Best Buy--I was SO impressed with it. I wasn't even thinking Samsung until I saw it. Samsung has really outdone themselves with this one, I think! I haven't even read of any major problems with it yet, so that's encouraging! Keep me updated and let me know if there are any little bugs with the TV.

I'm sorry, but 120Hz looks like poop. It gives movies and TV a weird shimmer about it. I'm well aware of why this occurs and what is happening within the TV, but this is not something I need to just "get used to". I want my movie to look like it did when I saw it in the theaters (obviously scaled down a tad, but that's a different topic), but 120Hz give all the fast movement in the picture an unnatural feel, and looks nothing like the original. I may be alone in my stance, but 120Hz just doesn't sit right with me or my eyes, and it never will.

I'm really interested in hearing what you found. We just got a new Samsung TV and it has the same problem.

Have they resolved this issue yet? I am thinking about buying this TV, and would like to know if they resolved this issue.
