Framerate?

[Damage Inc.]

Hello,

I'm new here, but I have a (probably quite unusual) question right off the bat:


I was in a store recently and I was actually looking at some TVs for no reason,
besides wondering how they look today.
Anyway, apparently they were all connected to Blu-Ray-players and playing BRDs.
Now, I noticed something, and it totally freaked me out, that the images/films looked like they were "too fast".
And I don't mean in time, but as if there were too many frames per second.
You know how that can make something look too "fast" or "fluent", I don't know what to call it.

But why was I seeing that?
Is that because of the screens (LCD/Plasma or their specifications) or because of HD-content?
Because that was NOT looking good, films are supposed to look a bit "jittery" even though unnoticeable.
But at least with a limited amount of frames I guess is the technique.


I hope you can inform me on this.

Greetings,
