1080/24p Output from my computer - Blu-ray Forum

Ho Chi Minh · 12-03-2008, 03:12 PM

I'm curious about this. I'll be buying a new Panasonic 50PZ800U in a few days, and I want to eventually take advantage of its 1080/24p ability. I don't have a dedicated BD player, instead I've been using my HDMI output from my computer. Playback has always run great and I've never had any problems. I use PowerDVD Ultra as the player that runs the BD, and it's running on a GeForce 8800.

I can't find anywhere what I'd need to be able to support 1080/24p output from my computer. Any info on this would help, I'm new to the forms so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place.

Edit: I knew going into buying the 50PZ800U that my computer may not support the 1080/24 playback, so buying a dedicated BD player is definitly an option. I'd just rather save the $300 and continue to use the computer if I could.

1080p24 is a function of your graphic card which must have one of the supported refresh rates that the Panny can do. If that's 1080p60, then that's that. Unlike a BD player, the refresh rate of the graphic card will be constant; the software BD player will do the 3-2 pulldown for you. Whether you like the effect is another matter.
