High expectations

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Should a tv at this price level be 120 hz in all modes? TCL states a refresh rate of 144hz, but that’s only available in game mode. I’ve had mine for a week now and there are too many motion issues in my mind for a tv with expectations as high as this tv. Any movement is blurred. My 75Q750 seemed better. Am I missing something.

Hi Kenb,
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you are not having the same great experience that the majority of our customers report having. Please note that 144Hz performance requires compatible content and devices, such as supported gaming consoles or PCs, while most movies, streaming apps, and broadcast content are typically delivered at lower frame rates such as 24Hz, 30Hz, or 60Hz. In some cases, perceived motion blur may also be related to picture or motion settings rather than the refresh rate itself. If motion blur is the main concern during regular viewing, there are settings built into the TV specifically designed to adjust this to your personal taste:
1. Press the Settings (Gear) button on your remote and go to Picture. 2. Switch your Picture Mode to Standard or Movie (make sure it isn't left in Game Mode for regular TV). 3. Go to Advanced Settings, then Motion and turn on Motion Clarity. 4. Try adjusting the Blur Reduction and Judder Reduction sliders up to a midpoint (around 4 to 6) to smooth out fast-panning shots and sports.
