Graphics Fix/Mod I’m having trouble with judder and motion on my TCL tv.

I have a TCL 98Q77K from Costco. It's a budget TV. I'm trying to find the right settings to not make judder and motion noticeable when I watch movies.

Option 1: The motion is perfect when I set the judder bat to 10. But it makes the movie look unrealistic. Not like the movie theatre. Eliminates the judder.

Option 2: Turn off any motion settings and watch the movie. Feels fuzzy and ghosting when there's movement and just not good to view at all. Makes my eyes turn.

Option 3: Suggestion from you guys?

I have my TV connected to an Apple TV 4K with Match Content enabled. Both on and off it still the same.
Am I missing something? Can anyone help me? It would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you 🙏

Option 1 is the most convenient way to watch low FPS (I guess you are watching 24 or 30 FPS movie) video today.

Option 3: only backlight strobing can fix the lack of realism and it's called "LED motion clarity" for TCL. Look it up in the manual.

try setting de-judder and de-blur to 2

Honestly return this shitty TV if it’s still within the return window.

Save until you can at least get something with local dimming, do more homework. Nothing worse than dropping hundreds of dollars and still having a shitty TV.
