Movies are shot at 24 frames per second. Unfortunately, TVs operating at 60Hz can only refresh 20 times per second, which means they must drop every fifth frame. With its 2008 Viera PZ85, PZ800, and PZ850 models, Panasonic introduces 24p native resolution, which means 24 frame per second movie content is reproduced frame for frame exactly, making for true-to-source smoothness of motion.

Everything I read says that, if you try and run your Panasonic to support 24p, you will get the legendary flicker?

Can someone explain what I'm missing? I'm considering the TH58PZ800U and I'd hate to spend the money only to see flickering when watching a movie...especially when Panasonic says they support 24p mode

As I have stated before I don't have a flicker problem on my 800u.I can't say if it is because I purchased my set in January and it was made in December meaning they may have corrected the problem on newer sets,a problem on some sets and not others,or because I have a BD30 feeding into a Panasonic Sa-BX500 receiver designed to work with the set.Either way I am tired of hearing this "unwatchable" stuff.
