24p Cinematic Playback

[Emusica]

Has anyone experienced this feature and does it really make a difference in the quality of video? I'm currently choosing between 2 sets, one of which doesn't have this feature but is larger. I will eventually get a BR player so I want my tv to be maximized for my viewing pleasure. I've researched it but all I really get is 1080p blah blah, 24 frames @ blah Hz. So what? Does it LOOK GOOD is the real question? Thanks for the info.

I dont know if its about quality so much as trying to reproduce the the way film was shot. Ive seen sets that do a very good job with it and some that do more damage than good. Hype or more of marketing a "feature" that is current to bluray and other media.

Thats exactly what I was wondering. I guess I would need to see it in action to really warrant whether I would need it or not.

If your tv can accept a 24p native signal, and has a 120 hz. native refresh rate, then you will have less judder than you would if your tv or player has to do a 3:2 pulldown. But when it comes down to it, it's not really that big of a deal.

It's pretty simple.

This is what I ask my friends.

Do you know what 24p is?
Do you know what shooting in 24 frames per second looks like?
Could you tell the difference between 60fps and 24fps?

Almost always even the people who are big into A/V have no idea.
If you don't have any idea about that stuff, then it's not going to matter to you.

Most importantly very few TVs actually display 24p without doing pull-down.

Here is a good list:

I think you mean the difference between 30 fps and 24 fps.

Movies are shot in 24 fps, everything else is 30 fps.

It's not that simple. There are plenty of 120Hz displays (*cough* Mitsubishis) that take a 1080p24 signal perform a 3:2 pulldown to 60Hz then double it to 120Hz.

It's not a big deal for most Americans, because we're used to it. However, there is something satisfactory about not watching credits jump or watching long slow pans stutter.

That's what my Sharp Aquos does, and that's what the majority of 120 hz. displays do.

Movies are shot in 24 fps, everything else is 30 fps.

If ya really wanna get technical - it's actually 29.97 frames per second for US TV.
