How to disable motion smoothing on a Hisense TV

Hisense makes TVs using several different operating systems, so it can be tricky to tell how to turn motion smoothing off.

Known for breaking major streaming stories, he’s covered everything from Netflix policy shifts to Peacock’s ad-tier changes. A sci-fi fan and Toshiba Fire TV user, he brings sharp analysis and a love for the genre to his reporting.
Hisense TVs allow you to disable motion smoothing, but the process depends on what kind of operating system it uses.

Don’t get me wrong, there is a time and place for motion smoothing. When you’re watching a big sports game or the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, motion smoothing can make you feel like a part of the action without question.

Fortunately, most TVs allow you to turn off this setting. If you own a Hisense TV, we’ll show you how to switch off motion smoothing on your set with ease.
