For example, Star Wars blue ray, on the plasma it looks good for 1977 but on the LED sets, there is this unnatural look to foreground items like saw a starship, it seems detached from the rest of the image.
I am not really explaining it right but I cannot get past it, it really ruins the experience for me.
On my set, I have turned off EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING related to Soap opera Effect as per instructions on the web. But I am not sold this is the issue as it perists despite me turning off all related settings.
Firstly, are y'all aware of what I am referring to? Why is the plasma so natural and the LEDs are all so......fake?

I have an old school 64' Panasonic G25 plasma and 65' Samsung FT85. Both phenomenal TV's. Have an itch for something new, but these two have been bullet proof.
What you're experiencing is called motion control or motion smoothing. It's a problem for many LCDs. Sometimes they can't render fast movie scenes properly and they get blurry, or the image judders when panning. Motion control / motion smoothing fixes this by increasing the frame right or inserting black frames causing that smooth soap opera effect. It's horseshit. Hate it.
Disable this in your menu function. Might be called motion control, motion smoothing, motion flow, motion plus, etc.
