Can you turn off the "soap opera effect?"

I have the 42" and have not had any such problems. I do not believe that there is a "60"hz mode. Since the tv is a 120 hz, there are two options. Display the same image twice, which gives a slightly laggy effect, or try to predict the next frame and display it roughly. Which gives the soap feel. 120 hz are kind of off sometimes.

LOL, 'fake' is a great term to describe it. Don't return it, it's fine. What you're seeing is sometimes referred to as SOE, or the "Soap-Opera-Effect" because it looks like you're watching some cheaply produced daytime television. It has to do with the way the source material was recorded, how it maps to the refresh rate of your new TV, interpolation and other large words you don't care about. What you do care about is pressing the green Menu button on your remote, selecting the first option 'Picture' and then 'Picture Options' about 9 items down. In this menu you want to change the feature called "Auto Motion Plus" from 'Standard' to 'Clear.' Walter and friends should look a little less fake now. I never understood why Samsung sets it that way by default, it drives me nuts!

Yes it does, and that feature can be turned off if you don't want the announcement.

The so called "soap opera" effect is simply a result of high refresh rate combined with high resolution. Its not too bad on this projector at all... no way to disable it that I know of.. Its not nearly as noticeable as say a full 1080P LED 240Hz TV. Either way .. in my humble opinion the soap opera look is something that I noticed on my LED TV at first and within 2-3 months after I bought, It was something I completely stopped noticing.

Sorry, do not remember HOW I turned off that text option, but do remember that it CAN be turned off.

Tapping the + and - buttons increases and decreases the amount of soap dispensed. So, tap the - button several times to limit it to a small squirt of soap. Note: holding down the - button will disable it temporarily (handy for cleaning) -- just tap the + button to turn it back on.

there is in the handle, or you can just turn it off. Buy this thing you won't regret it. i'm on my 2nd one.

You can turn it off by select 'create message', then choose options, select option 1 Multitap, this takesaway the autocorrect.

Turning off the auto motion works for the standard television, but on my new Samsung, the Soap Opera effect is in full force when watching movies through Netflix, Vudu or Blockbuster. There appears to be no way that I can find to turn off the "soap opera effect" once your into the Internet TV mode. Any suggestions?

Lisa, I haven't actually seen the "soap opera" effect come up in normal HD tv yet, but I did see some of it show up in 3D. To be honest, I haven't had time to tinker yet...so, I will do my best to let you know when I have the time to research it.

On the Samsung tv go to menu then preferences / accessibility and disable DV this turns off the annoying narrator

It does not eliminate the talking, just drops it level by half or so. It's a noticeable effect, but not a total elimination.

I saw something about turning off auto detect tv type or some setting like that on game consoles

Yes it can be switched off. Its bright in a mesmerizing way, looks very nice and soothing.

The only way to disable it is to have it on the off position.. hope that helps

No, you cannot turn it off. But otherwise it is a great project and we all love it.
