Does this TV have the Soap Opera Effect? If so, can you turn it off?

I honestly don't know. We have comcast (Xfinity) as our cable company and there is currently no code that works with their digital service. I didn't realize this when we bought this tv, so we may have to wait awhile before we can actually use it. Make sure you check your area and see if this tv works with your provider.

Almost forgot, I don't have my TV here, but is there any automatic sound adjust in the setup menu you can turn off?

When it is turned off it's completely silent. People complain about a buzzing. There is a SLIGHT buzz you can hear if the tv has no volume. Any volume drowns it out.

Hi.. I do not have this issue. My TV powers up to the TV picture. I am guessing it's in the start up settings but have not had to deal with it. I responded so you would know that you can change it. this is an awesome TV. Everyone who comes over comments on how great the picture is, so you made a great choice

On the menu settings from the remote there may be an option to switch the logo on and off. I have orderd this TV and am waiting for delivery, I have not had the opportunity to explore the TVs functions I do have a Toshiba 46" and have the option to turn the logo on and off.

If you mean does this tv turn itself off after a period of time with no activity then, no it stays on.

I am not 100% sure but I really don't think so. The setting on the TV is to choose between an audio system and TV speakers, and if you choose one it turns off the other.

Yes. I have programmed one button to turn on tv and audio and another to turn both off. Also done for dvd, audio and tv. It takes some patience and a programmer's mentality, but it's all explained in manual.

same here. Set up tonight. This background noise is annoying. Like nails on a chalk board. Sending it back. Hoping for better replacement. Shame...it looks good for my small home office (in a spare bedroom). I don''t need fancy, but I don't need this headache that this tv is giving me.

As others have mentioned, you do see a Viera Connect ad when you turn on the TV but you can disable this by going to Setup, Advanced Setup, Viera Connect Banner, then select 'Off.'

I don't think so but am no electronic whizz. I just turn the TV sound to mute and then no one else is bothered by what I am watching. Have had them for 5 months and use them almost daily and still LOVE them.

Hello, Did you ever figure this out? I just bought this TV last night and I'm very happy with it, but I use a surround sound system and have to keep the TV volume on 0. There should be a way to turn the speakers off - right? Thanks for any info.

I am sure the question concerns the motion flow feature, and this can be turned off. All that it does is make the picture movements smoother during fast scene changes. It is always on for normal TV. Info is on page 49 of the manual, under picture settings.

Yes, I have this model, and it makes the popping noises after it has been on for a short time. With mine, it goes away after the TV has been on for a while. It made them a few times after I turned it off as well.

The "Auto Motion Plus" on Samsungs (a different name on other LEDs TVs) is what causes the "soap opera effect". Most video experts recommend turning the feature off.

No...not at all. I find the picture suburb. Especially when paired with a high end Sony Bluray machine. The television changes settings automatically based on the content you are watching.
