Hi there!
I have recently purchased a Toshiba LCD TV, the 40XF355D (5 star review on what hifi), which is said to be 24 frames per second compatible. (without 5:5 pulldown). The sources I use are: PS3 with the latest firmware installed (installed just last week), a Denon 1920 upscalling DVD player and a Sagem HD freeview set-top-box.
I was hoping that some judder would go away having set the PS3 on 24 fps for blu ray playback, but guess what? It makes absolutely no difference if I turn on or off the 24 frames per second option in the PS3 menu. I have tried with multiple blu ray discs, including: Training Day, Hit Man, Sunshine, etc, the motion judder is there in all its glory. I use a Profigold HDMI cable (one of the few quality cables available in my country), I even plugged it in a different input (the TV has 3 HDMI inputs), I think I ran out of options. On the other hand, the TV has no options in the menu. Actually, the operating instructions do not mention anything about 24fps compatibility. I had to write to Toshiba UK to make sure that the TV is 24 fps compatible, and it is.
I understand the new technology - 24 fps with 5:5 pulldown - cures this motion judder but also brings that "natural motion" along which spoils to some extent (in my view at least) the movie watching experience. I thought that 24 fps compatibility would do just fine, being an acceptable compromise. I guess I was wrong.
Does anybody have the same problem with 24 fps compatible equipment? Is there any solution (other than buying new kit)?
Thank you in advance,
