>> When I first set up my LG TV, my main focus was ensuring the picture quality was perfect.

First things I did when I got a new LG TV:

* Turn off auto-smoothing

* Turn off high dynamic range

* Turn off audio processing

First things I did when I got my Apple TV:

* Turn off auto-smoothing

* Turn off high dynamic range

* Force everything to play at 1080p (delete all other resolutions)

There is a sharp cultural line between people who can't stand UHD/4K/48fps and those who want everything to look like pre-HD cinema, and people who love all the post processing. I'm on the wrong side. Which side are you all on?

Definitely not on the "everything looks like an 80s soap" side.

It's weird that all this "new" tech feels so backwards to some of us.

I'm fine with ripped DVDs that were purchased 20 years ago, and anything higher resolution than that is a bonus. All displayed on quality panels at neutral/middle settings with those aformentioned effects likewise disabled. Audio preserved as original, hooked up to a killer theater with real component speakers.

It's hard for me to tune in on an overly smoothed, saturated picture with fake surround sound plasticy soundbar audio.

I didn't realize Apple TVs apply motion smoothing. How do you disable it?

I too am on the "wrong" side. I just hope that the choice to be on that side continues.
