It adds a tremendous amount of input lag. Like you're streaming a game...but worse. NEVER, ever use this for games.

First thing that gets turned off when I get a new tv. Hell, I've been known to sneakily turn that shit off on my various family members TVs without them knowing.
Down with "warm" or "movie" presets. Natural colors are the GOAT.
i have walked away from relationships over this shit. bridges torched because no one except me understands what frame interpolation means.
it's like when you're hanging out with a new bro and you see him texting someone and
there's no coming back from that. i have standards.

That's the shit that makes everything look like a soap opera, right? Fuck no, it's horrible.
The 4k TV I bought a few years back had it by default and at first I thought I was going insane before I realized it was something I could turn off lol.

I'm not happy with it. There are still 9 people who answered wrong.
Off, also go into TV settings and turn off every single post processing feature for the minimal input lag, guess there's game mode too which should essentially do the same thing but not all TVs are like that weirldy
Maybe on new Samsung TV's because of their game-mode like input latency even with motion smoothing enabled. I think it works well for slower paced 30 fps games like JRPGs
I've tried it with movies on an LG OLED. There's something about it that's just "wrong". It's not that's it's too smooth, it's more of it feels artificial when people move there arms and such, kinda like smearing but yet not. Hard to explain. I can watch 60fps vids fine, but if it's motion smoothing, I notice it instantly and turn it off.
Never attempted to try it with games.

Can't watch movies without. They are a stuttery mess at native fps. Impossible for gaming since it adds tons of input lag. But Sony's motion interpolation at absolute max looks much better than 120 native frames.
Literally the biggest disservice TV makers do to their customers. It blows my mind people don't notice their movies now look like damn soap operas.
I typically don't use it.
The only situation I use it in is if I'm playing a fighting game over wifi and need the extra smoothness to compensate for the added lag. I find the higher perceived framerate lowers the input lag for me.

I thought about turning it on after I noticed some judder in Animal Crossing but I think I just got used to it after a couple of days.
I'm sorry what? Warm presets are usually closer to natural colours.
If you put a gun to my head and told me my only way to survive was to turn motion smoothing on, I'd tell you to pull the trigger twice.
It's amazing looking on LG CX with ghosts of tsh
Introduces a little latency but not much. Get used to it. Feels like you're playing at 120fps
I use it for non 60fps games that don't require pixel perfect timings. Like I'd never have it on for 2d platform games

Would love to have proper motion interpolation using velocity buffers as an option in ingame options.
This has advantage of having per pixel motion vectors, ability to have decent methods of combat occlusion etc.
It would add more computation and possibly double part of post processing pipeline. (Possibly everything post opaque lighting pass.)
Just enabling it from TV causes quite bit of latency and the result is not very good. (very noticeable judder in areas where it fails etc.)

My tv's smoothing does a decent imitation of 60 fps in games. I prefer the look but the input lag is a problem. I'll use it for games where the lag isn't an issue. If I had a tv that could pull it off with no lag I would probably leave it on for all 30 fps games.
It's so funny how every console gamer I know IRL plays with this shit turned on. Almost each one of them is also a cloud gaming/game streaming hater because "there's so much input lag".
