If it happens with everything then probably not. Do try a few things in the settings though. If anything is ON or OFF try both since new TVs are all digital (more code than actual electronics) there are a myriad of non-obvious interactions between functions, especially on low end sets. My TV is way too sh!tty to have anything fancy, I don't think it even has the motion smoothing which so many people cry about. It definitely seems to me more dependent on the source than the TV itself. I watched an NTSC DVD the other day, no problems that I noticed there. Question is, what sort of box should I try?

I’m not talking about a fancy feature, I meant that any feature at all may be the thing that when shut off or on makes the issue go away. We’re looking for happy accidents hoping to find them. In truth you probably just need a new TV. The good set top boxes all cost more than a reasonably sized quality TV. A 42” 4K Sony is $600 these days.

I guess, but my current one has plenty of legacy connections and I'd rather not have to buy a whole new TV just to have to buy a set top box anyway just to hook everything up.

You don’t, because 4K Bravia don’t do this. I’d be surprised if any Sony did in the history of their company unless maybe it was a kitchen top unit from 2005. New TVs don’t need boxes, at least not from my experience. By no means am I saying Sony TVs are perfect, I have a very love/hate relationship with this company, but they aren’t a Korean phone manufacturer and that’s a big distinction. There is still a minimal standard of quality of Sony and a drive to create something cool that isn’t a giant tablet but in fact a television monitor.
You won’t have s-video input, but you probably won’t care. Despite people coming here saying new TVs don’t have composite inputs I’ve found this to be extremely rare even now. Composite and component are likely on all their medium priced sets. Check the specs per model.

Well, I finally got some adapters to do some testing and I'm afraid the news aren't good; I'm not sure if the scaler works at eliminating frame tearing because it turns out the picture it puts out is significantly worse than if I just have the player hooked up straight to the TV. The outcoming picture is incredibly noisy no matter how much I fiddle around with the settings. Maybe it'd be better if I had an external comb filter between the player and the scaler but I wonder if that'd really be worth the effort at this point?
