Noob question - Blu-ray Forum

Just need some clarification. Is the picture quality better if your TV refreshes at 120Hz or if it is 24p frame compatible? Or is that the same thing?

And if not, what TV has this amazing combo?

24p and 120Hz are essentially the same thing. If your HTV support 120Hz, it can handle a 24p signal, as long as your source does as well.

24p will cancel out 3:2 pulldown which will end that jaggy/jerky motion you sometimes see on pans and scrolling text, etc. it will make motions like that smoother and more realistic.

I do think I remember seeing a news item on cnet or some electronics website saying that some TVs will refresh at 120Hz but do not accept 24p signals. I can't remember where I saw it, but I remember when 1080p TVs first came out some could display at 1080p but they could not accept 1080p signals. So, while the idea of a 120Hz TV that doesn't accept 24p sounds dumb, things like that have occured before.

Most 120Hz TVs accept 24p signals, but it's just something to quickly check when you go to upgrade.
