My colleague who uses WDTV always complains about these judder and 24p motion issues on his panny X plasma. I never faced such things before on my dinosaur 50" fishtank although we use the same media player and source.

I believe it is the problem of handling a 24p source.
echoesian,
Do u notice 24p judder when u watch movies in the cinema? 24p judder will be there as the 24 frames per second can be noticed by the eye if one is observant. Most home displays counter this with 48Hz, 72Hz, 96Hz and 120Hz (even 240Hz) that is basically meant to reduce the possibility of the eye notcing the frames. However, if this is not done correctly, the film actually starts to look like video.
I don't accept it that some of these display companies remove the 24p handling on their lower end displays. It really sucks.
Do u notice it on a BD player playing a BD? If u do, then the display is the limitation. If u don't then the problem could be the media player, a setting on it, or just the implementation (source as well).
But media players sometimes have their own quirks and I woudl suggest u investigate further.
