If you’re looking to reduce motion blur on your Vizio TV, there are a few things you can do. One is to disable motion smoothing, which is a feature that tries to smooth out the image by reducing the amount of jitter. Another option is to set up a delay between input and output devices. This will cause the TV to wait until something else happens before it starts outputting video. Finally, you can try adjusting the contrast on your TV. This will help reduce blurriness and make images look more clear.
What Is Motion Smoothing Anyway?
Motion smoothing works by increasing the framerate of content you watch on the TV. It does this by artificially adding extra frames in between each real frame, to sync up the content to the refresh rate of the display, which can sometimes double or even quadruple the perceived refresh rate and “smoothness” of the picture.
However, this doesn’t always look good, and often leads to blurry images and nasty artifacts. Plus, some people just don’t like higher refresh rates and would prefer to disable the option.

How to Turn it Off
On Vizio TVs, open up the settings menu, select “Picture,” and then switch to the “Advanced Picture” tab. Here you can set different levels for the “Smooth Motion Effect,” like adjusting how much interpolation and motion blur is applied. You can disable it entirely by setting it to “Off.”
On some TVs, you might find the option may be under Picture Mode > Advanced Video Features.
If you have an older TV with the feature, you may have to consult your TV’s manual if you can’t find the option, which you can find online.
