For a while now, I have been noticing a lot of "motion blur" with my 360 on my 26" Samsung HDTV. I know the reason for most of this is because I'm using 1080i (the i standing for interlacing). When i change the 360 to use 720p (the p standing for progressive) then this gets rid of 95% of the motion blur.
The only problem being - the 360 looks like crap on 720p compared to 1080i. I mean, there is absolutely no contest what so ever. I'm not sure whether this is the tv itself, or the 360.
Moving to 720p isn't a option because the quality is so poor. If its rubbish quality vs great quality with motion blur, while neither of them are ideal, I know the winner! While playing the mirrors edge demo on 1080i, while panning the camera left or right while in the room looking at one of the doors, I can clearly see a ghosting of the handle (black outline) against the wall while panning right. In FIFA 09, while running in the shadow at Old Trafford with Ronaldo, any quick movement or turns, he leaves behind a red blur as does the red diamond above his head.
All this seems very, very noticeable (especially during the first 30 mins of play).
It seems that the following reduces the motion blur as much as possible:
Xbox360:
1080i - 60Hz (select no when asked if it displays properly at 50Hz)
Samsung HDTV:
Mode: Dynamic
Contrast: 93
Brightness: 61
Sharpness: 44
Colour: 48
Tint: G50 - R50
Color Tone: Cool1
Backlight: 8
Size: 16:9
Digitial NR: Auto
Active Color: On
DNIe: On
The only long term solution is to buy a 1080p tv/monitor...but none of us are made of money!
