How to resolve body shimmer issues - Blu-ray Forum

KBMS · 03-07-2018, 06:36 PM

Does anyone have setting recommendations to resolve (for lack of a better word) body shimmering. I've noticed on my Sharp 4K Roku smart tv sometimes when a person is moving it will have a shimmering pixelation around them.
I always figured it was a streaming issue, but I just got a Xbox One S to play 4K movies, and noticed this again last night watching Thor Ragnorok in 4K.
Not sure if it my tv setting or the Xbox (seems to be a little more prevalent on blu-rays played on the Xbox compared to when I watched on my PS4)
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Turn off all the motion interpolation stuff on the TV.

Ah thanks, I know the default on the motion flow was high. I'll try changing that. Cheers

Take a hot shower, but remember to put something over the drain so all that glitter doesn't wash into the septic system.

What happens if glitter gets in the septic system?

Then you haven't solved your body shimmer problem, just passed it on to the giant rats.

At least you can see the rats coming when they've got all that glitter on them.

If I'm dealing with rats then I am exchanging my TV

...And totally regretting using the words "Body Shimmer" to describe my problem. I should have known the can of worms I was opening.

Question to KBMS.......did it work for you?

There is nothing wrong with your TV. That’s the way vampires are in the Twilight franchise. Just stop watching only those travesties and you’ll solve more problems than just the one that you think you have.

I think somewhat. The distortion still exists, but not quite as prevalent/as often.
I have to view some more stuff to compare because now some movement in scenes doesn't seem as fluid

Did you turn off MotionFlow completely?
If so, is there still artifacting body shimmer?
Check the Xbox settings, disable any artificial sharpness and noise reduction options (as well as Trumotion/MotionFlow/Whatever-it's-called).
Also remove those options on your 4k TV.

It won't look as "fluid", but compare the amount of shimmer you get in scenes that are most problematic.

Start "raw", then progress upwards from there. The MotionFlow is most likely the primary issue, though. When there are many things moving on the screen, it can get confused and improperly predict/translate the information to the screen.
If you have several menu options/tweaks in place, it can compound the issue.

Thus, Body Shimmer.

Thanks, I cannot find any noise reduction settings to turn off on my XBox, I've set ,y motionflow to medium. It's helped decrease the artifacting but turning it off completely causes to much stutter - have to choose the lessor of the two evils

Is your XBOX and display both set to 24fps?
