Hi everyone, Since the 6G, Pioneer Plasma TV's were already capable to play 24fps based content at 3 x 24 = 72 Hz for judderfree, smooth playback. Now, I would like to know, how the new Samsung PS50P96FDX 50" Full HD & the new Panasonic TH-50PZ70B 50" Full HD handle this 1080p24 signal. Are these sets really capable to play Blu-ray / HD DVD as smooth as on a Pioneer Plasma TV? And what are they doing with the 1080p24 signal? Do they multiply and divide the frame rate in real time like this 24 x [-]3[/-] 5 / 2 = 60 Hz
Hi glen8, I just saw in your signature that you have both the TH-42PZ70 and the PS3 in your HT setup How do you experience the smoothness when you play the end score of a Blu-ray movie or during horizontal panning shots with your PS3 setup to output in 1080p24? Cheers, Fico
Isn't it just normal 3:2 pulldown 1080p24 frames are: A B C D 1080p60 frames are: AAA BB CCC DD So frame A is repeated 3 times, then frame B repeated 2 time, then frame C 3 times etc. So the maths is 1080p24 has 24 frames per second, of those 12 are repeated 3 times making 36 frames, the other 12 are repeated twice making 24 frames, then 36+24=60
The Panny commercial screens are perfectly capable of displaying 24, 48, or 72Hz signals. I don't see why a limited version of this can't have been included in the PZ70. I wouldn't assume it's converting it to 60. Surely it will just take someone to compare a 1080p/60 pan to a 1080p/24 pan and see if it's smoother?
Take a look at this guys Originally Posted by tdm34 Just got off the phone with my pet anorak at Panasonic Technical He states that "the PZ70 does pretty much what the Pioneer 8G panels do i.e. Sample at 72hz" http://www.avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=5449864#post5449864 Cheers, Fico
