They go hand in hand. Motion handling generally refers to the panels ability to refresh fast enough. A faster refreshing panel paired with the correct hardware processing will shine. Certain LG (some other brands too) panels have a 1ms refresh rate. For a TV like this, you don't need to correct or compensate. Motion enhancement (or smoothing) is a trick approach to making an image appear as if its moving free of judder or stutter, to make it look nice and smooth. Its the same as frame insertion and the TV being discussed on this forum does that. When we make cg movies, we add motion blur to fast moving objects in shots. We have the ability the dial the amount of motion blur we add. Its what gives you the sensation of speed or something moving fast. We don't want some useless trick software to come in and smoothen that even further. That will only distort the image. Which is why, on just about any TV, it needs to demonstrate the ability to handle motion (we don't want smoothing) with the panel and hardware itself. Not interpolate using software as depending on the technic and approach used, it can be okay and in many cases, artificial. The problem is, many people like this artificial smoothing. Our eyes get trained to this. There are only a handful of TV's I have seen that do this really well with software and its not all models. Plasma TV did this well by default. Lcd was mediocre to average. Led got a little better but as with any manufacturer, they reserve the best for the top of the line models. Same story with oled but it has other problems that are unrelated to what we are discussing.
The way you demonstrate the ability of a monitor or TV to handle motion is to first turn off every single image enhancement technic, see how good or bad it is and very gradually apply external methods to improve how the TV handles motion. Smoothing is the last thing you want to add.
