1080p and 48fps are two different things - 1080p is the resolution and relates to quality of the image - 48fps affects speed of the image being displayed.

1080p can still be in 24fps and as clear as being there - ie: bluray with the 'smooth motion'/high refresh rate interpolation feature turned OFF on the TV.

I'm sure there will be.. but not looking forward to it.

My 48fps experience at tgv 1u - clear, sharp details, achieves a documentary style look which, for me, badly represents middle-earth - after being so accustomed to the previous trilogy at 24fps.

It was a struggle througout trying to enjoy 'the Hobbit' in HFR... i could tolerate static dialogue close-up scenes - but, as soon as the camera moves - OMG.. giant LED TV screen with motion-flow turned on.. even in 3d, its horrifying.

So, i walked out of halfway, when the dwarves arrive at rivendell - and going to good old imax3d at 24fps tomorrow.

I can see they now have Atmos for the 3D/HFR version (scroll down) for GSC 1u now available for booking - 3 shows per day.

HFR is very similar to high definition sports/news broadcasts/filmed inside studio material.
Images tend to be perceived as moving slightly faster - the benefit is when the image pans, there is no motion blurring. The drawback is - it looks like high definition sports/news broadcasts in dialogue scenes.

I'm surprised, as The Hobbit was filmed with 3D cameras.

Dolby Atmos would be great to try out..
