How can I change the settings to my LCD TV?

I bought a new LCD TV (LG 42LK550) and it makes every movie look like a soap opera. So real it takes away from my an enjoyable movie-viewing experience. Is there any way to change those settings, and if so, how?

The soap opera effect is likley caused by having a TV with 120 or 240 hz.

One sure fire to turn that off, is too use "game mode".

On your 'Menu' there should be picture settings.. There is usually a 'Movie' mode. OR, if you have an LCD with a refresh rate of 120 or 240 hz., you should turn that off while watching movies. There is a conflict when watching TV movies with refresh rates on... (Movies shot at 24 FPS, then Broadcast at 30 FPS, on and on..) I won't get into the boring details, but that should fix it..

Start by reading the owners manual then do some research on auto motion/refresh rate and why you get the "soap opera" effect.

HDMI (or DVI) could desire to be exceptionally lots automatic, by way of fact the show communicates its features to the video source. as quickly as I put in a 1080p HDTV using DVI to HDMI cable, Linux used it 1080p finished show screen precise away. yet for some reason WinXP became into underscanning it (black boarder all the way around). yet I as much as date my video driver and its application for video settings then had an underscan slider, and by potential of putting that to 0 it became into finished show screen 1080p. If a VGA pc or different pc would not use its finished decision, you are able to could desire to the two make some adjustments, or probable replace its video driver.
