Motion Smoothing out of nowhere

Jump to solution

As of this morning, my TCL Roku TV randomly has motion smoothing. There is no setting to turn it off. I’ve had this tv for a couple years and this hasn’t been an issue. What can I do about this?

Model Number: G140X

Software Version 13.0.0.24062

Motion Smoothing stuck On without option to turn off

Jump to solution

Motion smoothing is stuck on on all apps, with no option to turn it off within picture settings -> expert settings. Tried customer support who were unable to help

I have the same problem. TCL, model number G107X, software version 13.0.0. Had it for years and hasn't been an issue since yesterday. I don't see any options mentioning "action smoothing" in any of the menus when I click * while video is playing. Extremely frustrating, but it's interesting to see that it has happened to multiple people simultaneously.

Thank you for reporting this matter to us. Rest assured that we will coordinate this with the appropriate team for further investigation. 

Kindly provide us with the following details so we can report this effectively:
