Quick Question Regarding 24fps

[dmhpro]

SOrry if this is a stupid question, just needed clarification. I hear everyone say 24fps produces the best Blu-Ray picture. Does the player need to be 24fps or is it the tellevsion that needs to be able to do 24fps? If its the player does anybody know if PS3 is capable?

Thanks for all future responses

Both must be capable. The player must be able to pass the signal, and the TV must be able to accept and display it. I do not have a set which can do this, but I have seen movies on it, and while a movie like Cars (animated) looks excellent, to me it takes away from the cinematic feel of movies, making them look like cheap 3D theme park movies. Again, this is just my opinion.

Yes, the PS3 can do this.

Yes your tv is capable of accepting 1080/24p.

Would you be kind enought to elaborate on the cheap theme park look of the movies.
I read somewhere else that if you can manage 24fps as intended, it's the way to go, but your comment contradicts this.
I only ask because I don't want to go to the effort of making sure I can display 24fps with an expensive projector when I don't need this feature because it looks crappy.
Thanks in advance

Whenever the camera pans across a scene in a 24fps movie, I find the jerkiness annoying. This is true either on my HDTV or in a movie theatre.

I would think that a higher frame rate would have less of this effect, and would be desirable. I don't understand why 24 fps in considered superior.

I wonder if the 120 hz motionflow TVs would actually smooth out the pans in 24 fps movies.

I have a 24 fps compatible TV (Sony KDL-40V3000) and a PS3 as my BD player.

This is the link on this site for the monitors that support 24p.

The "jerkiness" that you are describing is exactly what 1080p24 is supposed to get rid of. It's not introduced by the lower frame rate at all. The original film is shot at 24 fps and in order to display it at 60 fps extra frames have to be added to it. This results in something commonly called Judder. It's most noticeable on fast camera pans and displaying at 24fps eliminates it.
