Am I getting 600hz display on my tv

Actually, it's less than that. My HD system (blu ray & projector) is set for 24Hz progressive scan whenever the media supports it. This is exactly the same as used in cinemas and the indeed the way it was intended to be displayed by the film makers.

24Hz is indeed the system used in cinemas, but its FAR from perfect. Movement is very poor in some areas. This is the one area I wish theyd get around to changing the standard instead of just increasing screen resolutions

I can't say I've noticed any real issues; there have been times I noticed the odd "glitch" but I have usually blamed the disc. A revised system would be the way forward, but I can't see how anyone can do this and still maintain backwards compatibility.

All its doing is raising the frames per second

If they multiplied by 4 say it would be very easy to maintain compatability. Problem is tvs have been made away from the 24Hz standard so again, EVERYTHING would need to be upgraded

Does that mean the stagecoach wheels won't go backwards when I watch a John Wayne western ?

I haven't seen one manufacturer make that claim, and they never will because it simply doesn't happen.

The problem is that some people automatically assume that is the case, and then don't bother to question it further.

Probably no joy there. The wheels going backwards is burnt into the 24fps celluloid.

The frame timebase speed on TV's has ALWAYS been 50 Hz

Your point being?

My point being is that TV manufacturers did not move away from the 24 fps "standard" you implied, because it was never a "standard" where television sets are concerned to start with.

The human eye is quite a forgiving tool, so forgiving in fact that frame rates as low as 18 fps can give the appearance of fluid motion.

I used to be able to understand all this techno jargon but slowly getting bored of all the bullpooh of it all. My partner bought a 42" LG, a 200hz LCD one last August and although the picture quality in-store 'seemed' better than a lot of the others, we can't stand watching it in 200hz mode as Bluray movies especially seem to stutter in fast action parts. I reverted it back to the 50hz mode and it's just 'okay'.

Is it because i'm getting old? - I'm 38...
