Guessing this was related to the problem, I turned it off. But buried two menus deep, I found one called Auto Motion Plus. I never found an option that specifically said it controlled the refresh rate. One of the set's features is a 240Hz refresh rate. The set was so nice that I kind of wanted to just blame myself.Įventually, I started hunting through the menu options. Had I gotten a bad set? Maybe it was just me. There was George Clooney playing over and over again in a clip from "The Descendants," looking as handsome as ever. In the store, the television - a Samsung 7000 Series - had a picture that looked great. After a few more days, even I conceded that unless "Game of Thrones" was now being shot in the same studio as "The Young and the Restless," something was wrong.

I figured the move from a 40-inch set to a 55-inch one was taking some time to get used to.Īs it turned out, she was right. "Why does everything on the new TV look like video out of a bad soap opera," my wife asked me, about a day after our new set arrived.
