It's easy to turn off motion smoothing on a Haier smart TV.

Haier might not be as common a TV brand as Insignia, Panasonic, or Samsung, but it’s still a trusted manufacturer of smart TVs around the globe. Haier makes TVs mostly using the Roku and Google TV operating systems, which are highly modern and easy-to-use interfaces.

Haier TVs have one feature that viewers will probably want to adjust, however: motion smoothing. That weird, uncanny soap-opera effect that comes with motion smoothing can ruin even the best TV show or movie, and we’ll show you how to turn off the setting on your Haier TV here.

Everything you need to know about turning off motion smoothing on Haier TVs

What is motion smoothing called on Haier TVs?

The name of motion smoothing on Haier TVs can vary from operating system to operating system. You may find it under the label of Motion Estimation and Motion Compensation (MEMC).

If your Haier TV uses Google TV, the setting could be called Action Smoothing, Motionflow, Motion Enhancement, Motion Clearness, or something similar.

If your Haier TV is programmed with the Roku operating system, the setting will most likely be called action smoothing.

How to turn off motion smoothing on Google TV Haier sets

  1. Open the Settings menu.
  2. Head to Display and Sound.
  3. Navigate to Picture.
  4. Open Advanced Settings.
  5. Find Motion Enhancement/your motion smoothing setting.
  6. Toggle it to the off position.

How to turn off motion smoothing on Roku Haier TVs

With a Roku TV, you’ll want to make sure you want to are playing a title on your chosen app first. Then, simply:

  1. Press the star button on the Roku remote to open settings.
  2. Move to Advanced Picture Settings.
  3. Click on Action Smoothing.
  4. Adjust the setting using the directional pad buttons.

Do these procedures work for all Haier TVs?

These steps will help you turn off motion smoothing on most Roku and Google TV-powered sets. But not all models are the same, and you may find your motion smoothing setting called something slightly different. If these steps didn’t help you with your specific Haier TV, make sure to look in the display or picture settings to find it and turn it off.

Does turning off motion smoothing on Haier TVs disable it permanently?

Yes, you can restore motion smoothing if you like the soap-opera effect it creates, or if you want to watch live sports or a similar event with your Haier set. Simply follow the steps listed above to find the setting again and turn it back on.
