Motion Smoothness (6.13)

When it came to motion smoothness, the Samsung LN40B530 produced a satisfactory performance. We saw some undeniable stuttering and blurring, but it didn't kill the image in our opinion. Unlike a lot of TVs, the Samsung LN40B530 does not offer any special motion processing features like 120Hz or the like. And that's fine, because much or the time those features just create more problems. 

Motion Artifacting (6.63)

The Samsung LN40B530 produced only a little motion artifacting. In high contrast areas, we saw some jittery effects that looked like 'anticipatory trailing,' meaning random pixels that were colored the same as the object that was about to pass. That was really the worst of it, though. Overall, you shouldn't see too many issues. 

3:2 Pulldown & 24fps (7.0)

The Samsung LN40B530 could perform 3:2 pulldown with no problem.
