Very helpful video. Thank you.

Admittedly, film material shown on PAL TV is pretty smooth compared to NTSC due to the fact that the film speed in increased from 24 to 25 fps to fit nicely with our 50Hz standard, so Americans using 120Hz instead of 60Hz should get something greatly improved because 24 goes neatly into 120 five times.

I prefer to leave films looking the way they do rather than artificially inflating the frame count, otherwise they end up looking like video, which looks live - the way we see the world with our own eyes. The film look has a different feel to it than video or actual vision of things around us. My TV is capable of 100Hz (PAL TV) but I keep it on 50Hz. Most of these TVs produce a non-constant frame rate as they try to predict what to do based on the material fed to them and I don't like that.

@lumabi25 What do you mean you, "Keep it on 50Hz". You can manually change the refresh rate on your TV??? I've never heard of that, what TV do you have?

[lumabi25]

@hakametal I have a Sharp LCD. Many late model TVs (and even some older ones that are CRT) have the ability to change it. It will be somewhere in the TV menus but it may not be listed as 50Hz or 100Hz, etc., but more likely something like "film mode" or "smooth" or whatever, in the video settings. Mine has "film mode" which gives a few settings, some mild, some strong. May be good for live sports but not my cup of tea for movies because they end up looking live, which feels totally different.

idc what anybody says against getting 120hz or 240hz i was watching my uncles 60hz 50" tv and everytime the camera would zoom on something it would blur when people moved i cant stand it. i notice it way to easy.

[MauDrumss]

so you dont recomend 120 HZ on a 32" tv, but would you do on a 40"?

[solidstatetv100]

@MauDrumss No, I would still recommend 120hz but it's not as noticeable at 32 inches. If you don’t know what you’re looking for you will likely be fine with 60hz.

@solidstatetv100 Thank you very much, I went for a 40" 120Hz Led tv, and so far looks great, your videos pretty much pulled the trigger and conviced me XD.

Thank you so very much.

Great explanation about this difference. I am getting a 40" Full HD TV in the next week, and I opted for 100hz instead of a slightly bigger screen with 50hz (50hz is the European 60hz). For gaming and movies (which will be my main use) it will make a difference.

@SwedishBass Hey I'm also looking for a 40" LED what model # are you looking at?
