Is this also the source of the ultra-real "soap opera" effect that ruins movies on new televisions?


No. That's the TV interpolating frames. The effect described would introduce a stutter.


Ugh, I hate that effect. The frame rate dynamically changes based on when the algorithm can find frames to interpolate. It's so disorienting.


That effect can often be turned off. I know it can on my 2008-era samsung tv.
