Like I said before, I believe your brother has a 6 series, which are all 60hz HDTVs, besides the 69. These TVs accept a 24hz singnal and will do a 3:2 pulldown and you will get UNEVEN judder (though the 6 series does a great job at minimizing this). 24fps film has JUDDER in it. a 60hz HDTV produces UNEVEN judder and that is the big issue between 60hz and 24hz.

A 120hz TV will use interpolation (w/motion enhancers on) which will make the picture very smooth, but I and many other HT enthusisits, do not believe this is the way the movie was meant to look.

A 120hz TV without motion enhances on will simply show the same frame 5 times 24fps (5x24 = 120). You will still have EVEN judder in this, but EVEN judder is a part of film. I don't think you are seeing any judder because thats what your eyes are used to.

I honestly don't see much of a difference between a 6 series HDTV and a 120hz HDTV w/motion enhancers off, to warrent a new purchase.

There is a thread over at AVS if you can find it specifically about these HDTVs and 24hz v 60hz.

Yea, sorry like i said, somewhat new to me. Well, all i know is that when watching the movie, i pressed the info button on the tv and it said 24hz... Am i mixing things up here?
