Sometime ago I spent an obscene amount of money on a new TV, an Oled LG, 65 inch, only to find that the football ghosts when I stream Kayo.  It's very frustrating.  It's no good for golf replays either and I'm considering buying a new TV.

Does anyone have any knowledge that will help me.  I'm worried about buying a new TV  and suffering the same issue.

Any help or comments would be much appreciated.

Hey Slartibartfast. I know a little, it's a bit harder to keep up now with all the different types of High def TVs on the market now but hopefully can help in some way.

When the picture ghosts is it like the blurry 'multiple' image or is it more like the slightly slower movement that you see in a bad soap opera? Ghosting and blur usually comes down to two things: a) Poor refresh rate, b) mismatch between frame rate of the tv and the actual content. 

I'm surprised that this is happening on an LG OLED TV as this brand and a couple of others are easily the best in this category and especially for watching sport, they usually have excellent refresh rates so I'm ruling that out. Another thing could be the settings, does it have one of those gimmick features like 'Motion blur' or 'Super motion' or something like that? You wouldn't happen to have a model no or the year handy?

Thanks Laysie.  The model number is oled65C9PTA and I reckon it's 3 or 4 years old now.  The ghosting is like a "multiple" image.  I think the refresh rate is 120Hz.

It's been suggested to me that the refresh rate is too fast for Kayo but I'm afraid the technicalities are beyond me and as far as I know there is no option to change the refresh rate in settings.  I've tried the "trumotion" setting with no result.  I've also been onto LG (who in the main are very helpful) but they haven't been able to find an answer.

A search of the internet seems to suggest that this is not an uncommon issue for this tv with some streaming services.  My major issue is that I don't want to buy a new tv and find a similar issue.

Any help you can offer would be appreciated greatly.

Yeah that is a tough one and something you'd expect to see in a much worse TV. The 120Hz refresh rate would be faster than the content but there should still be a reasonable HD picture without ghosting I would have thought. That Trumotion sounds like LG's special motion setting, have you tried it with that on and also with it off?

I'm sure there's a way to get this working well as it sounds like a really good TV and unless there is a major defect with that particular model I'd definitely not rush out to get a new one yet.

Do you stream Kayo on the Smart TV function or something like Google Chromecast/Apple TV stick?

It is not your tv it is Kayo. It has to be the poorest streaming service in existence. Watching most sports live the picture quality is poor with   constant stop start action. Funny that any replay seems to be ok.

I get those issues with Kayo live streaming as well, buffering and lagging. The only time it happens is when watching live. I've even compared it with Foxte Go which is Foxtel's live streaming App and that doesn't have the issue so it's definitely Kayo which is pretty disappointing.

I have been watching basketball the last few weeks and it seems to work ok so far. Why just AFL? I even snuck in 10 min look at the women's game last week and it was ok.

It's all about the connection.

I had an LG in an Apartment and it use to frustrate me with the ball flickering.

Now that same TV is running near perfect in a House environment.

Can't wait to see it in 4k

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
