TV sets that accept 1080p/24 and can display that image at 1080p/72 or
1080p/120 are the best display for 1080p/24 content. These display do not use
3:2 Film to Video frame rate conversion but instead use 1x3 or 1x5 frame rate
conversion that gives much better motion performance for 1080p/24 film. Most of
the Blu Ray titles are recorded at 1080p/24.

Subject: [opendtv] 1080p questions
A friend asked me for some 1080p information, which I don't know the complete
answer to. Today, so far as I can find, the only advantage of some 1080p sets
would be that they refresh at 120 fps instead of 60. Are there other good
reasons to buy one now? Here's his question: "I'm a TV watcher, not a DVD
viewer. I have two HD TiVos (1 Series 3 and one HDXL.) With the huge FIOS
lineup and 4 simultaneous streams of TV capture capability, I don't watch much
DVD material. With TiVo and Broadcast TV pretty much limited to 1080i or 720p
as their highest quality formats, is there any advantage to purchasing a
1080p-capable TV? If so, what is it?" Also, for my curiosity, are any of the
satellite services DTV, Dish and HD Net, cable and fiber video services
transmitting 1080p programming today on a *regular* basis, and if not, when
will they start? Thanks, Cliff
