Did you know that you don’t benefit from the full resolution of your TV screen? Disable this option that comes activated automatically.

Smart TVs come with many functions that make our lives much easier. Sometimes we are amazed by the stunning picture quality they have, especially after incorporating HDR when the movie is compatible with our screens. However, even the best TVs have a function that distorts the image and makes it noticeably worse. We are talking about a function that goes by different names, but is generally known as “image smoothing”.

For this reason, today we will explain the nature of this function and why it should be deactivated on your TV if you want to enjoy a higher quality experience than you are used to so far. This function will improve the quality of your life using the TV and truly make you enjoy the clean and excellent image you are looking for.

Image smoothing is a function that, as its name suggests, makes the image appear clearer in the central part and more blurred at the edges. This function has some benefits, especially if we do not like motion blur when playing video games. However, if what we want is to watch series and movies, this is a disastrous idea, as it will not give us a poor image quality where it will give you the feeling that it was shot with a somewhat weak camera.

In this way, although it may have benefits when playing video games, you will see how deactivating it will improve the quality and allow you to enjoy the picture as it was intended.

– How to Disable Image Smoothing

The truth is that every TV is different, so it depends heavily on the brand you are using. Some call it “image smoothing” or “motion smoothing”, but it can vary to very similar terms even though they are not exactly the same. In any case, you will easily recognize it, as they usually have very similar terms.

In any case, you will always find it in the same place, in the picture settings on the TV. There you will have different modes to choose from, including some modified modes for the experience you are looking for (cinematic mode, game mode…) and you will also find the function of image smoothing that should be deactivated.
