Soap Opera Effect on LG OLED

Tivo does not have any of these effects, so it must be your TV. You should try again and find that setting and it may be individual for each input.

 

It has individual effects for each input. Try swapping the inputs from the two devices and see if it moves with the device or stays at the same hdmi port.

My guess is you aren't watching cable/OTA channels that may have pretty crappy bitrates on your appletv and you are streaming from streaming providers.

On my LG C9 I set Just Scan to On and disabled any Tru motion stuff setting it all to 0. Then on the Edge I set the video display to 1080i and 720p so the TV upscaled everything itself.

Also I believe that if you have it set to 4k 60fps, it will pad the frames, etc so if you don't want to do the 1080i/720p I would choose the 4k passthrough option in the video. That way if you do want a little more interpolation than 0 all of the work is being done by the TV.

But basically the low res stuff is hard to interpolate so it has way more artifacts if interpolation is on.

 

If this is on Edge you may need to turn off HDR as Edge leaves HDR on all the time.
