I've been in touch with TCL. I've submitted all of my information including photos and videos of the set. They've done absolutely nothing.

-is there a specific title or content that this is happening with?
-can you provide steps on what you are doing when you see this issue?Once we have this information, I will be able to pass it along to the appropriate team to look further into.

Such a bad look for the TCL brand. Hotfixing or letting people revert to a previous software version would fix the issue ASAP. Factory resetting doesn't wipe the software version so I'm still stuck on 9.3.0. not that I should have to do that in the first place.
Roku tv. 7120x
Tcl model. 55r617
Serial no. YS00RD36072
software version. 9.3.0 - build 4194-30
It happens on every app and input. At random. System Restart works for about a day or two then it reverts back acting like action smoothing is on. When it is turned off.
Roku TV 7138X
Tcl model. 75R615
Serial no. YS008L322961
software version. 9.3.0 - build 4194-30
It happens on Roku apps and devices connected via HDMI input randomly.
Rebooting the TV works for about a day or two, but starts acting like action smoothing is on, when it is turned off.
That's why I bought the 43in 4 series which is 120hz in april bcoz I've read so many complaints about the so called "motion smoothing" in all tv's over the last year. I can't stand seeing all those tracers(most call it ghosting or shadowing, I call it tracers bcoz they remind me of trippin on acid) when there's a lot of action manufacturers need to stop trying to come up with new bells and whistles for tv's and make them ALL 120hz or higher first, then add new bells and whistles.
It's not a panel problem, it's a software problem.
I had that problem with The Old Guard but other Dolby content seems to be okay.
It not only does it on every HDMI input and app it also does it when the TV is in game mode. Forza Horizon 4 on Xbox one x, the menu looks like it's at 60 frames per second when it's in 30 frames per second mode.

Update: well now they want me to send them a picture of my system info and the TV's tracker ID. Didn't know TV's had those. But I'll update my next move for y'all.
