No, they do not run at 24fps. All HDTV's that are rated to accept 24fps multiply it in some way. Example: My Sony SXRD "accepts" 24fps, then multiplies by 4 and displays it at 96fps. Keep in mind that this has nothing to do with "motion flow" (I have that turned off)

Any other questions?

When one presses the info button on a TV it is only displaying the input signal being received. On many displays that accept 1080P/24 the signal is converted to 60HZ using a 3:2 pulldown process. There is no advantage to having a 1080P/24 input on a TV if it is converted to 60HZ. No film projector or TV displays images at 24fps because there would be a unwatchable flicker on the screen. 35MM and 75MM film in the theater is encoded at 24fps and the projector flashes the images on the screen at multiplies of the original frame (48HZ, 72HZ, etc).
That being said 1080P/60 displays still look very good with BLU-RAY. A true 1080P/24 display that properly displays 1080P/24 will look more like film with nice smooth camera pans. Eliminating the 60HZ 3:2 pulldown process just eliminates the 3:2 pulldown judder during camera pans and gives the image a more film quality look compared to 60HZ video.

Correct! All 1080p 24fps display's "convert" it to a higher fps, but what you acomplish is the elimination of 3:2 pulldown... and that is HUGE! If you can afford it, buy a "24fps" display... it's worth every penny!

Mostly correct - if your TV does a better job with 3:2 cadence than your player then it is an advantage.

You are correct. I should have said the main purpose of 1080P/24 is to bypass the 3:2 pulldown process in both the TV and BLU-RAY player. In prior threads over the last couple years I have mentioned that if ones TV is only 60HZ and contains a 1080P/24 input that sometimes using the 1080P/24 input on a TV with 60HZ will provide a better picture if the 3:2 pulldown process is better in the TV compared to the BLU-RAY player.
It would have been much better for the consumer electronics industry and less confusing if the manufactories would have only placed 1080P/24 inputs on displays that refreshed at multiplies of 24fps. Of course almost every company accept Pioneer decided to make lower cost 1080P 60HZ displays that included a 1080P/24 input. The average consumer when purchasing a 1080P 60HZ refresh display that has a 1080P/24 input are under the illusion that they are getting the benefits of 1080P/24 when they really are not. The nice thing about Pioneer is that on all of their Pioneer Plasma displays that are labeled 1080P they all properly handle 1080P/24 including all old models. In fact the old 720P (768P) Pioneer Plasmas that do have a 1080P/24 input they properly refresh the image at 72HZ while downconverting the 1080P/24 image to 720P 72HZ.
Pioneer made a business decision regarding 1080P/24 to 100% of the time properly handle 1080P/24 at multiplies of 24 on all models that include that feature.

It is not running at that - it is merely showing you what the input signal is. Your TV is either refreshing at 60Hz or 120Hz.

I asked the sales person to switch between 1080p and 108024p resolution on blu ray player. I really couldnt tell the difference.

Is the difference really significant? or did i miss anything?

Please advise

Thanks in advance.

No it is not significant at all - to most people they will not even notice the difference between 1080p24 and 1080p60, because they've become acclimatized to 3:2 pulldown through years of watching DVD.

No, he was under the impression that his display refreshes at 24Hz, but I think he understands better now.

Not all of them multiply it, there are numerous sets that accept a 1080p24 signal and then perform 3:2 pulldown on it. In fact even some of the 120Hz tv's only use 3:2 pulldown to get to 60Hz and then double it, which doesn't eliminate 3:2 judder at all.

It's definitely OK - it's a beautiful TV.

Watch Fast-Moving Scenes with Clear, Vivid Resolution
The 480hz Sub-Field Drive self-illuminating plasma display features high moving picture resolution, so you enjoy smooth, clear motion in sporting events and action movies.


Got the above from panasonic site in specifications of 85U.

Does this feature help in removing it 3:2 judder? if not completely little bit?

It helps with the processing, locking onto an interlaced signal, figuring out 2:3 cadence on film-based material, etc.

It's nothing to do with judder, which is simply caused by showing frames in the following method

1080p24 source
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

TH-50PZ85U
1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6

As you can see, every even frame is shown three times, every odd-numbered frame is shown two times.

This gets 24 to 60.
