XR90J - Games and text on screen blurry, hard to watch.

I have upgraded from my 2014 Sony KDL48W585 LED HD 1080p TV to the 50" Sony Bravia XR0J. I was looking forward to a nice upgrade however now I have the TV installed... things are not to great :(

The main problem is things are blurry. Especially when playing games and moving around, the display has tons of motion blur. On my 2014 TV there was no such motion blur. Another issue is even when not moving things are lacking detail and not sharp. For instance text on screen is blurry and has a sort of bloom effect. Things in the distance in games are blurry. I am finding it hard to play games because it gives me a slight headache.

I tried changing to Game mode but it is the same there. Also when watching normal tv such as news channels the text is blurry albeit to lesser extent. Text on news channels 480/720/1080p looked a lot better on 2014 Sony Bravia TV.

The text seems perfectly fine in Google TV menus and in Netflix however. Netflix content looks great. Some sources seem worse than others, and I am wondering why there is inconsistency.

I am playing games on an Xbox One and Nintendo Switch so believe they are outputting 1080p.

The TV has tons of options in the menu for picture settings and I am changing various options but I am not really clear on what the best settings should be, in particular for addressing motion blur. I a pretty happy with things like colour and brightness. Thats all fine, it is just dealing with motion blur I am struggling with and blurring/bloom on text from some sources (but not all sources!)

Wondered if anyone had similar issues with this TV?
