Watching my first Blu-ray

[Blu-ray Fanatic]

I've seen 120hz displays at BB and CC. Everything looks too real when objects move. Thats why I didn't want a 120 hz tv.

I wouldn't say too real, but more like very unnatural.

There was a TV at Best Buy that was doing something like this. Did it seam like it was around 1.4 or so times faster? To the point where the audio doesn't sound too distorted, but you can jsut tell that the video is moving to fast?

You're confusing 120Hz with anti-judder, which are two entirely different things. Anti-judder comes with most or all of the 120Hz TVs, but you can turn it off. The TVs at BB and CC have anti-judder on, and this is what makes the movies look weird, NOT the fact that they are 120Hz. I have a 120Hz TV with anti-judder off, and my BD player is set to 24p. It's perfect, and looks exactly the way it's supposed to.

120Hz TVs were created because movies are 24 frames/sec, and NTSC TV is 30 frames/sec. 120 is a common multiple of these numbers, so the TV can display both framerates without doing weird pulldown ratios and such.

This.

120 is awesome for film sourced and encoded at 24fps (which the majority are). Its all the other features that they tack to it, like in Samsung's case with the AMd/S that make it look silly. Turn it off and watch it 24fps and it will look outstanding.
