It's called motion interpolation, but a lot of TVs call it "motion smoothing". It artificially increases the frame rate. I don't really know how to describe it, but I find it a little disconcerting and I immediately turn that feature off when I buy a new TV. It almost makes the motion look more "real life" in a bad way.
Ah, thank you. I’ve seen that, and it’s horrible!
It's called that from 90s soap operas using cheap 60 Hz video cameras instead of film.
That totally makes sense; in fact my gut reaction was “why does this look like it was shot on video? I could swear this show used to look better.”
