24p vs 48 hz or 60hz for video playback?


Is there a decided difference between these when playing movies/blu-ray on a hdtv?

If it was shot in 24p then you need to play it back in 24p for the best results. If you have a projector or TV that can interpolate frames then let the projector or TV do that. With interpolated frames you can get 24p to look eerily realistic - some may like this effect or some pay prefer the effect of the original 24p (the way the film was shot).

Examples of a projectors that will do this - Panasonic AE4000.

Converting to 60 Hz which is not a mutiple of 24 Hz is not going to give you the highest quality no matter what you do.
