24p Help

[Kieran]

Ah thank you for that

So i should have this switched on in my BR player settings and just leave it? Is it therefore a superior pictuare quality? I noticed that it states 24p in the top right corner when i put a BR disc in.

It doesn't really change picture quality. It displays the pictures as you would see them in the theater. The shots that are still are incredibly detailed and there is a slight blur outside the focus area in quick action.

It doesn't make the picture better, per se. It merely presents the film on your TV the way it would closely look if played in a theater.

Ah now this is all making sense, thanks guys.

So... better to have on or off? Will it do no harm, or hardly any difference in reality to have it on? What's the general consensus?

turn 24p ON if you can so you don't have duplicate frames/3:2pulldown, everything will look as it should

So if it off, some frames a skipped? Is this correct?

We started turning OFF 24p on our PS3 and Sony KDL-40XBR4 and have Motion Enhancer on HIGH, and turned OFF CineMotion -- and we get MUCH better motion for all source (Blu-ray, DVD, DirecTV, etc.).

Here is an article that got me thinking about turning OFF 24p, and I am happier for it:

No they won't be skipped, just some frames will be repeated more often than others. If it's off, and it's outputting at 60hz, some frames will be shown 3 times, others 2 times, leading to uneven motion judder, or "3:2 pull-down judder".

If it's on, and you have a compatible TV eg. one capable of accepting 24p and outputting at a multiple of 24 each frame will be shown for the same length of time. eg. a 120hz TV will show each frame 5 times.
