first, can you give a brief description of what you mean by "that terrible soap opera effect". please be specific so that we can guide you later..a lot of edge lit LED TVs have a dejudder settings. but first please answer my question for clarification.
Does anybody know if such a thing exists? I love the thin edge lit LED tvs with the local dimming feature, but the 120/240Hz refresh rate causes that terrible soap opera effect. Can anybody recommend a TV where this isnt an issue? Maybe one with refresh/dejudder settings that would minimize the problem. thanks!
