I still don't understand (and 1 field = half a frame).

Does a "120Hz" LCD HDTV output a 23.976Hz source from a Blu-ray player at 119.88Hz (23.976*5), and does it output a 24.000Hz source from a Blu-ray player at 120.000Hz? Or does it output everything at one rate - eg. 119.88Hz and for the 24.000Hz source omit an output frame every so often (ie. not do a full 5:5 pull-down)?


That is dependent on disc authoring, and whether or not you are being given the correct info. As the master provided can vary and use either 23.976 or 24.
SOME sets can do a 5-5 pulldown on 23.976 just like 24p. older sets do a 6-4 pull down there was a thread here for the longest time with lists of sets capable of displaying it properly.

In short maybe, it depends on your tv, the disc, and the master used for authoring! ITS A PAIN you should read this thread as it is enlightening

Also if I made a mistake in regards to the use of frame v field, sorry its a bad habit.

But still for U.S. purposes 23.976 = 24

EDIT If anyone has concrete proof for a definitive answer I would like to see it.
