Apple TV has mild jerkiness or twitch or dropped frames when streaming video

For years now, on every movie, on every streaming service, there is a mild jerk or twitch happening (almost like a dropped frame) every few seconds. Normally I don't notice becomes things are fast-moving in the movie, but it's very noticeable when there is a slow cinematic pan across a scene.


I've seen another thread that recommended trying off cinematic or enhancement mode on the TV, which had my hopes up because that totally sounds like a good solution, and it worked for others. However it did not work for me on my LG TV - I have all that stuff switched off.


I'm 100% sure it is NOT network-related, this is not about buffering or anything like that. I am also not using Airplay or anything. This is a normal Apple TV 4K plugged direct into an LG TV.


Just putting this out there in case someone has ideas.

What make of LG TV do you have?


Do you have “match frame rate” set to on in your video settings?
