Almost all movies, except for experimental High frame rate films, are in 24 fps. However…
– Modern TVs are designed around 30 or 60 fps. Neither is divisible with 24.
– OLED TVs are so fast that 24 fps content have stutter
– LED TVs have blur
– Plasma’s no longer exist
– 3:2 pulldown, which causes judder because there is an uneven showing of frames.
So what gives? Why aren’t TV designed around the dominant 24 fps? 24 fps has always been dominant for movies, so it’s not like it came out of nowhere. I don’t get it.
In: Technology
Some 120 hz TVs can display 24 fps without pulldown.
TV broadcast has always 30 frames / 60 fields a second because the power frequency has always been 60 cycles a second and in the vacuum days tube days it was too expensive to build a clock into every TV set to have it some other frame rate.
