Movies are origionally made on film that has a refresh rate of 25 frames per second

the only tvs i have seen compatible with 24p(25 frames a second) are full 1080p tvs. my ps3 has a 1080p 24 setting. it works on our 1080p tv down stairs but not the tv upstairs that only goes upto 1080i.

Whats a scaler got to do with differences between interlaced and progressive?

i just figured like i am sure i have seen you say in the past some tvs scale better than others. so ok i guess i am wrong with that point. :doh:

My pioneer 42" 768 (Not full) pixel tv is 24Hz compatible

Some tvs do scale better than others, but that has nothing to do with interlaced or progressive material

i think i just got myself confused because of when i watch certain dvds some of them dont look great at the full 1080p and are better set lower.
i should have left that bit about scaling off. was the rest of the post right?

thats interesting. as you must have noticed the 1080p 24 setting on your ps3. i am curious why it says 1080p if it can work on tvs that arent 1080p.

The pioneer accepts a full 1080P 24Hz 'signal'

Obviously it cant display a 1080P picture so it has to downscale but it will show it at the proper 24Hz

we used to watch them on a samsung dvd player which upscaled to 1080i then we used the ps3 and now my dad also has a sony blu ray player that upscales to 1080p. all have been connected to a samsung 1080p tv. personally i think it is down to the quality of the recording on the disc. dvds of old sitcoms are pointless upscaled to 1080p.

Some discs dont look too great, but are you claiming they look better when scaled by the tv instead?
