I think you guys mixed up the issues, whether the input can accept 24p (film based source) is not the same topic as the LCD panel refreshing at 100/120Hz la.

and also the capability to input signal 1080p has nothing to do with the panel resolution 1366x768 output.. 2 separate topics.

for example, if a LCD TV has 1366x768, it would be better for the TV's internal scaler to accept this full HD signal and discart additional information from a 1080p24 based signal rather than try to upscale a 720p signal to 1366x768p or convert 1080i to 1366x768

no la..just my preference to drive 1366x768 with 1080i (if that TV internal deinterlacer is decent) or accept 1080p24 signal than upscale 720p (if the choice is available, so 1080p24 capable TV would enable you all these choices rather than limit your options)

I think you have mixed up what we were discussing. We are discussing one thing and you are talking about another.

My point is , If you want to input 24p then the best combination  is with a 120Hz TV.


On A 100Hz TV which can input 24P, there will still be judder because of the uneven match (24p can't be multiplied to exactly match 100Hz frequency) . It will have to use some sort of technique to fill in the missing frames. How well the manufacturer implements the technique will determine how smooth the video will be.

On the other hand , if you have 120Hz TV which can input also input  24P signals,  it won't have to do any pulldown because it just multiply the 24 by 5 times.

btw, I only mentioned the topic of  1080P input on a panel with resolution of 768 just to show an example of  how people are sometimes misled into believing that any panel which can input 1080P signal is automatically a Full HD Panel itself.

Just like how people are misled that just because  the TV can input 24P , it will automatically have the optimal  frequency to handle the signal smoothly.

The two examples are not meant to be related, other than the fact that they are sometimes used to mislead people for marketing purposes.
*
lets examine your point... if that's the case, why are LCD TVs promoting this 100HZ/120Hz and not plasmas? if such feature is really made primarily for anti judder 24Hz filmbased source.?

I think there are 2 main issues on implementing 100/120Hz, the main one is mostly to counter the motion blur/pixel lag primarily caused by LCD panels compared to plasma TV.

doing 5:5 pulldown is secondary benefit from double frame rate of a 120HZ TV cos the 100Hz version (obviously from PAL regions) won't be able to multiply 5 x 24 to 120.
besides, different manufacturers will have different frame interpolation technologies implemeted in this double Hz feature, so your milage may vary ..not all builtin 100/120Hz processors are equal..


on your other point of input signals, I get ya, but being able to accept a variety of input signals including the famed 1080p24 is essential especially when the next gen sources are already capable of outputting this in year 2007 (in the past, the arguement was there was no 1080p24 source so why bother), then no reason why a new range telly built in 07 onwards should be lagging behind in input signal options.

Exactly what we are discussing, 120hz will have a simpler inverse telecine for a 24p than 100hz. You can afford though to have a 100hz, 70hz or what ever freq of your LCD tv have, given it will do a proper 3:2 pulldown. And there is not many tv that can do that (according to the expert from hidefdigest). One of them is Sharp A63 model, which is why Im looking for it so desperately cos Sharp Malaysia dont have those model. Singapore have.....
you assume the current 120HZ LCD TV will do 5:5 pull down from 24fps film based source? hope you are not one of those who think 1080p input means displaying 1080p output as well.

anyway excerpts from AVS


"Heres why I suspect you might be seeing judder.

When 24FPS film is converted to 60Hz 3:2 pulldown is done on the movie. This effectively interlaces the static image but also makes motion slightly smoother, and blurrier. Effectively this causes half the image to change roughly every 1/48th of a second (not exactly, but sort of). But basically at any given time no more than half the information is updated.

In 120Hz, they simply do 5:5 pulldown, or repeat each full frame 5 times. This means every 1/24 of a second a whole new frame is shown.

You might see Judder because you are seeing crisper edges during motion due to a lack of 3:2 pulldown, since 5:5 pulldown displays the whole frame change at once. Typically 5:5 is much preferred over 3:2 due to clarity in the whole frame being updated at once instead of field based updating, but its possible 5:5 pulldown disturbs you as much as 3:2 disturbs some other people.

Just be thankful were not in Europe on 50Hz, where they either just trash a frame.... or speed up a movie by 4.2% and just hope no one notices."

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Krotchy,

That's a nice opinion, except for now there is NO 120hz panel actually doing 5:5 pulldown [24fps, with each original frame repeated 5 times]. Toshiba just released one that does, but it's only available in Japan currently (maybe the USA next year).

All of these "120hz" LCDs, are simply "refreshing", or doubling the current 60hz signal, by adding a newly processed frame [thru the processing chip's algorithm] between each "real" frame of the content [inside of the 3:2 pulldown process]. It's better, but definitely not the same as real 5:5 pulldown.

JVC's version of 120hz is now in its 2nd generation [new 898 series releasing this month, in 37", 42" & 47" 10-bit, 1080p panel sizes], which they dub "Clear Motion Drive II", and specifically designed for both horizontal and vertical 1080 resolution. Note: the previous 120hz version from late 2005 was only for vertical 720 resolution, in a 37" panel only.

JVC's version is combined with their excellent 32-bit Genessa processing chip, along with their great 5th generation D.I.S.T. scaler, and features accurate colors right out of the box.

anyway it's just a discussion, good to share info with fellow forumers.. smile.gif


I also initially thought 120HZ will benefit 24fps but looks like current LCD TVs do the doubling after the 3:2 process.. I was like WTF?... biggrin.gif


Added on December 11, 2007, 2:22 pmNgto, yeah, plasma 72Hz is for 3:3 pulldown on 24fps.

But I don't think able to do 120Hz yet esp 1080p, I think got some technical hurdles on plasma panel technology to improve 1st before able to get down to 120HZ (on the electronics processor side, no problem)..

Isn't the above problem due to the DVD player itself which does a pulldown before sending the signal to the 120Hz TV.

With a Blu-ray player which can directly output pure 24fps to the 120Hz TV (with 24fps input) , wouldn't that result in smooth judder free video?
to my understanding from the discussion in that forum, the current 120hz range of LCD, will take the 24fps make it to 3:2 (60HZ) and then double the frames to 120hz.. so there is no direct 5:5 pulldown. so really, the 120Hz feature is not designed primarily to reduce film to video judder but rather to solve the problem of LCD pixels long "hold" times causing LCD motion blurness.

from the forums again....
>>>>>>>>>
just to give you some actual technical info

from SID journals

"LCD Motion blur is a well known problem. Although many solutions have been proposed, some fundamental questions have not been answered yet. In this paper, we try to answer such questions. Specifically, we calculate the waveform and its blur width of a moving edge perceived on LCD screen for current LCD and the proposed four solutions of hold-type motion blur. We found that the slow response of current LCD is not a dominant factor of motion blur. The slow response of current LCD only contributes to 30% of the motion blur, while the hold-type rendering mode of LCD contributes to 70%. Therefore, fast LCD such as OCB itself does not significantly reduce motion blur. Fast LCD, on the other hand, is critical to the proposed three solutions of hold-type blur to avoid the ghosting artifact. With fast LCD, black data insertion and frame rate doubling can provide 50% reduction of motion blur. With both fast response LCD and fast backlight, backlight flashing can provide much higher reduction of motion blur. (C)2005 Society for Information Display "

Traditional (typical) LCDs hold each pixel voltage on for the "entire" frame period. For 60Hz this means 16ms (1/60). For 120Hz this means 8ms. There is no "off" or "dead" time in between frames. This is the problem.

For a 60Hz CRT each frame period is still 16ms but each phosphor dot (equivilent to a pixel) is only illuminating for ~1.5 ms. Hence they are called "impulse" displays.

According to this article, the whole 120Hz thing really is meant as a workaround
for a particular flaw inherent to LCDs, thus it doesn't/shouldn't apply to plasmas:
http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/home-entertainm...tion-290237.php

From the article:

"As video editor Geoff Morrison's piece explains, part of the blur perception
comes from the fact that, on standard LCDs, frames are frozen on the screen
for 1/60th of a second, and then abruptly shift to the next frame. This is called
"sample and hold." Other technologies like plasma and DLP don't hold the frame
for that whole 1/60th of a second, but pulse from one frame to the next, with
some healthy downtime. The obvious solution is to double the frame rate to 120Hz.

One 120Hz method simulates the other TV technologies by introducing that
downtime. Between each bright frame is a frame that's totally black or very
dim (as shown above). The rapid succession of bright and dark frames, 120
times per second, looks smooth to the eye, and keeps some of the LCD's
issues hidden in the darkness. This technique is the best, according to Morrison.
Alas, it is dying out.

The trouble with the method is that it reduces the prized brightness of an LCD.
It is a sad truth that, in the cutthroat world of Best Buy TV selling, the brightest
TV often wins.

the second method (shown below) is coming into vogue. Rather than splice in
black frames, LCD makers introduce a Photoshop-style interpolated frame,
basically a morphed midpoint between Frame 1 and Frame 3."

In other words, the current 120Hz processing is an artificial workaround and not a holy grail.As I said, the main purpose of 120Hz for LCDs is to reduce display time (as they put it "frozen on the screen") to 8.3 ms from 16.7 ms.

Plasma displays are also sample and hold but to a much smaller degree. Typical plasmas emit light for 4-6ms of a frame but may be longer as the ADS system spreads it over the frame time. Moving to 120Hz would reduce the display time for plasma to 2-3ms making motion perception even better. I have read research papers describing high refresh rate plasma. I will post it once I find it again smile.gif

LCD got panel lag (sample and hold technique) deficiencies causing "motion blur", hence why need to double up the frame rate to 100 or 120hz.. (not all 100/120HZ technique are same) so need to do some research...

seems like JVC's one is the most advanced..

the current 100/120HZ promotion is a LCD phenomenon, due to sample and hold technique used to display images on LCD panels causing "motion blur"... don't get confused with refresh rate of source or plasma planel 72Hz technology.. besides for HD there is no 1080i/720p 100HZ player output option... so the current function of "doubling the frequency" is definitely done in LCD TV section... not the source..

Our TV signals are 50Hz (PAL). DVD movies are mostly 60Hz (NTSC).

On your second question, If your LCD TV is 720P (which is the case of the A53M) then

1) if you select 1080i in your DVD player, your TV will scale it to 720P
2) if you select 720P in your DVD player, it will pass through untouched (720P).
3) if you select 480i or 480P in your DVD player, your TV will scale it to 720P.

The rule is whatever compatible signal you input to your LCD TV  it will always be scaled to the native resolution.

btw, the purpose of a upscale DVD player is to upscale normal DVD (which is 480P) to 720P/1080i. Although your TV can also scale 480P to 720P , stand alone upscale player normally do the job better. That's why people buy good upscalers e.g Sony 76H, instead of  letting the TV do the upscale from a normal (Non upscale) 480i/P DVD player.
*
A53M native resolution is 1366x768 (not 720p) , so if you input 1280x720p or 1920x1080i or what ever, it will definitely have to map it to the native rez of 1366x768... there is definitely a final round of scaling done just before displaying it on the panel.. if you input 720p and if you don't want any scaling, i.e mapping it 1:1 (then it should have 4 black bars all around...cos 720p is smaller size than 768p

Well it's not quite 720P, but most people use the term for 768 panels because of the small diff which is negligible. It's understood what I meant.
*
I don't think you can assume such, as for example 720p LCD projectors will display 720p signal with 1:1 pixel mapping (when overscan disabled) but not so with LCD TVs using 1366x768 panels.. it will not do 1:1 720p mapping (hence a layer of upscaling required inside the TV) so definitely there is a visible difference between the 2 rez mentioned, i.e. 1280x720 and 1366x768...

As I have said before most people refer to  1368x768 panels as 720P panels. Technically of course it's not entirely true (apart from the small diffference), but it's just a matter of relative convenience when they use the term to compare 720P and 1080P. If you want to go on about small technical differences whch your super sharp vision can detect, then good for you  rclxms.gif

I'm never seen people in the main AVS forum refer 768p as 720p so I don't know where you get your illusions from... it's not about trying to show how much some one knows but setting some details right with the amount of misinformation out there...

are you sure it's true? "HD ready" means it can accept 1080i or 720p signal, doesn't mean it's any megapixel native resolution panel, it could just be WVGA 854x480 wide-SD panel can still be legit to call it HD ready..
