KDL42W653a - Motionflow setting disappeared!

[adam_cr]

HELP!

I bought myself a KDL42W653a last week and, initially, was very impressed. The first night I popped on a DVD, fiddled with the settings and found one for 'motionflow' which made the display look super fluid. At the same time, I also changed a setting for audio delay (in ms) because the audio became slightly out of sync with the picture.

Since that night, however, both options have disappeared. The image played from the DVD player is now back to 'normal' and absolutely nothing I change can get the 'motionflow' setting back. I've noticed that a number of people on the net have asked why the motionflow setting is not included on this model (despite it being a Motionflow "00hz TV!) but trust me, IT WAS THERE! It made a wonderful difference to the quality of films and now I'm pretty annoyed that it has gone. Has an erroneous system update since the night I plugged in the TV perhaps removed the option?

If anyone could help me I'd be really grateful... including Sony officials.

It was there! I was watching Life of Pi on a Sony Bluray player. I remember my other half whining at me for fiddling with the settings then being impressed when I turned the motionflow on!

I've been to my Sony centre too and seen the same, and the people in there were very helpful but non-the-wiser. It was there, I was chuffed to bits with how well it worked and now I'm gutted.

sony,unlike the motionflow settings for this set we are not going to dissappear all you need to do is put the motionflow settings back on the set with the option to turn them on and off when needed.if you don't do this or reply to any of our posts then this issue will escalate.the set is clearly being falsely advertised as having motionflow when it doesn't..Under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended) goods you supply must  match their description.

adam cr.sony are saying. we can confirm with complete certainty that the KDL-42W653A does not and never did have a Motionflow setting in the menu.they think you thought led motion was motionflow.
