Tom Cruise wants you to turn off motion smoothing on your modern tv

Yes, Tom Cruise has released a new video on Twitter, where he is suggesting users to turn off a feature, which is mostly turned on by default on the majority of the smart televisions or LED TVs. Tom Cruise from the set of Top Gun is suggesting users to turn off Motion Smoothing smart televisions to stop "Soap Opera Effect" on your modern television.

What is Motion Smoothing?

Motion smoothing is also called as Motion interpolation or motion-compensated frame interpolation, which will generate an intermediated frames to make the scene more fluid, which will compensate for the motion blur effect.

Why Motion Smoothing is terrible?

As explained, the Motion Smoothing effect will introduce a duplicate layer of animation picture to offer more fluidic visuals, which will disturb the scene, especially an action scene. Most of the motion pictures are captured in 24fps format, and Motion Smoothing will double the frames per second, resulting in a 48fps format, which will disturb the complete scene.

Motion Smoothing is called as Auto Motion Plus on Samsung Televisions, Motion Flow on Sony Televisions, and TruMotion on LG Televisions. Most of the brands come up with their own terminology for the Motion smoothing effect.
