Came across this article the other day and figured it was worth sharing.
The Big Judder Problem and the Overhyping of 24p
I have to admit, I was also naive in thinking 24p would completely resolve juddering issues which are common when using a 3:2 pulldown but having tested it out on 3 different tv's now, they all exhibit the same issues. The only explanation I can think of is; either the PS3 doesn't handle 24p correctly or in fact, like the articles states 24p is just way too slow to resolve camera panning motion cleanly.
This also ties in nicely with 120hz, take Planet Earth for example. You would think running at 24p with Frame Interpolation on would result in completely smooth playback? (24 x 5 = 120), but infact on both the Samsung and Panasonic i still noticed hints of juddering and lost frames. It was only when i disabled 24p and ran at 60hz with Frame Interpolation on i achieved perfectly smooth pans.
Same with movies, 60hz with motionflow on low looks far more natural then 24hz with the same settings.
Just wondering what other peoples experiences are with 24p and if you prefer the cinematic 'juddery' look of for the artificial 'sped up' look with motionflow/frame interpolation on?
