My game blurs with fast movement - Xbox One X and Samsung RU7100 65”

JamieBrunjes · Dec 30, 2019

Hi,

I recently bought a Samsung RU7100 65” UHD 4k TV. Its worth $1500. I am playing FIFA Ultimate Team online through Xbox One X. I was previously using a cheap branded Soniq 65” UHD (but not 4k) TV that cost $1000 a few years ago.

with my new TV, the picture is very nice and clear, but as soon as i kick a ball in the game, the game blurs for about a second. Its quite noticeable and the constant switching between blur and non-blur is frustrating. My previous tv never did this.

After doing Google searches I’ve already turned game mode on, enabled AC 4:2:2, turned off the motion thing that people call soap opera mode, tried all HDMI ports, reset the TV settings and gone through the calibration tool - all to no avail.

Anyone else experienced this/know how to fix it? I’m currently regretting my purchase and feel like I’ve downgraded, when I should feel the opposite.

:)

I did a quick search and found this article on Samsung TV motion blur, hopefully tinkering with these settings may help.

That won't help. That link is to do with the enabling post processing modes which are only good when watching live sports or movies. If 'Game mode' is truly enabled, these motion smooth effects will be turned off anyway. And with Game mode enabled, these
other post process options should be greyed out on the TV menu.

As I understand it, the Samsung RU7100 has automatic console detection and should have changed to 'Game Mode' Automatically.

Is the blurring really that bad or just slight blurring? Did you old set have no blurring at all? I find that hard to believe. The RU7100 series has a fairly decent 12.9 milliseconds latency.

As with pretty much all LCD tech, blurring is always going to be an issue, even on screens with fast refreshes and low latency.

Why does my screen blur?

The answer lies in persistence (sample-and-hold) that this technology uses. Even instant pixel response (0 ms) can have lots of motion blur due to sample-and-hold.

Your eyes are always moving when you track moving objects on a screen. Sample-and-hold means frames are statically displayed until the next refresh. Your eyes are in a different position at the beginning of a refresh than at the end of a refresh; this causes
the frame to be blurred across your retinas.

An excellent web-based animation of sample-and-hold motion blur can be found via the Blur Busters UFO Motion Tests:

Eye-Tracking Motion Blur Animation. This is motion blur from persistence.

If Game mode hasn't helped and you feel your new TV isn't what you expected, you should attempt to exchange it for a different, perhaps more expensive TV. When buying TV's for gaming, it's always a good idea to check reviews on the internet, or video reviews
on YouTube.

Just a thought, have you gone through the setting on the Xbox to connect the new screen? When the One X first came out my friend had the same issue after be upgraded his TV and it was because it needed to go through the screen setup again.

Hi sir

Im wondering if theres any inside game settings where you can turn the blur off...my only reasoning for this is i play call of duty and within there general settings there is motion blur options to toggle on or off.

It maybe of no use but i merely throwing it out there.

Thanks

make sure that the soap opera is off on the tv as it might be affecting it if it is on go to tv settings to turn it off
