Hi
I think its called motion blur!
Basically, I have a 2nd TV set used for gaming or occasional TV viewing.
Its a UMC 32" LED Full HD TV.
I've noticed when playing FIFA14 or watching Match of the Day, as the players run around or the ball is kicked, you can see a blurry trail following them.
In fact its happening whenever there is any movement of any sort in a game or TV viewing.
I've stopped watching TV on it & gaming is no fun.
My TV still has over a years warranty on it. Is it something that can be fixed?
Thanks

You need a quality TV with a LCD display with panel with a decent refresh rate. Swap it for a Panasonic like this one (you get what you pay for)

I was overcome with the urgent need to buy a full HD set whilst not being able to afford a decent branded one!
Lesson learnt!
Will tinker around with it - and then try to get rid of it!!!
Not the end of the world. It's worth it for what I paid.
If it's any help, my grandson has a PS4 and was totally disappointed by the picture quality on his el cheapo supermarket TV. I bought him the TV I linked. He is totally overawed by the picture.
You would have had a massive improvement in picture quality had you bought a HD Ready quality display with a 768 line panel, which you could have bought at a similar price.
You aren't the first to be seduced by the 1920 x 1080 advertising hype. The picture quality you get is much less than the display resolution suggests.
Basically a 1920 x 1080 interlaced transmisison at 25fps (1080i), is around the same quality as a 1280 x 720 at 50 fps (720p50). That's why the original HD Ready spec included both formats as the minimum spec.
No broadcaster actually adopted 720P, simply because to the layman it seemed inferior despite the fact that at the time there were no LCD/Plasma displays with 1080 lines.
Unfortunately that Panny is twice what I paid - but I guess its been proven that my set is a false economy in the long run!
I have had this model for a year now , it is awesome and is now £60 cheaper than it was a year ago !
