Comment by sowbug | original | The MacBook Pro's OLED PWM Problem: When a 'Better' Display Becomes Worse to Use

Is that what I'm seeing on my LG C series? Every so often when I'm watching streaming video, and the scene changes, the action seems to skip frames for maybe a quarter of a second. It happens rarely enough that I haven't narrowed it down to the TV, the attached Chromecast, the streaming app, or the content.

The only setting I recall changing on the TV is the one that stops the soap-opera effect.

Yup that's it. And that's why they add motion interpolation (soap opera effect) to get rid of it, but then you get the soap opera effect.
