24p off on my Panny 50C10 TV and Panny BD60 player.
I tried 24p, expecting motion cadence to be as film-like as possible. Unfortunately, 24p made judder during camera pans even worse than regular 60Hz.
=================================
I suspect that 24p at 96Hz would look much better. That would be similar to a quadruple shutter on a film projector (24fps shuttered at 4 times per frame, to make 96Hz). Of course, that should be without frame interpolation or IFC. You should still be getting some judder during camera pans, but the judder should be a film-like 24fps-cadence judder, not a jerky, telecine pull-down judder.
Movie projectors shutter at 48Hz (24fps x 2) or 72Hz (24fps x 3). I don't know why, but when 48Hz is implemented on TVs, the judder is still terrible. They say Pioneer plasma's 72Hz is a bit better, although the 72Hz setting introduces additional artifacts.
Maybe a 96Hz capability (24p x 4) would finally solve the problem.
AVForums (UK) says the Panny 50V20 is capable of 24p@96Hz:
24p playback is again at 96Hz, on the V20, which offers no interpolation and smooth looking images with no induced judder. The inherent response of the Plasma technology also manages to display a good 900 lines of motion resolution, on the FPD test, which is three times better than an average LCD TVs performance. This means that the V20 is not only excellent when fed HD film content but watching fast moving sports material is a delight. As I mentioned earlier in the review, if you add on Intelligent Frame Creation (24p Smooth with BD sources) the motion resolution improves but with the drawbacks of adding in processing errors and making film content look like a ‘Soap Opera’, so its best left off.http://www.avforums.com/review/Panasonic-V20-TX-P50V20B-50V20-HDTV-Plasma-Review.htmlIs the Philippine 42V20 also 96Hz-capable?
