Yesterday, I had a look at Kung Fu Panda on Blu Ray and it looks very good - I can see more details on it than DVD, you can even see the fur on Po's body, and things like that.
Switching on "24p smooth film" on the TV as well as 24p output on the BD (?) gives the image a more fluid feel, you feel less like your just watching a TV screen I thinK

Should 24p be switched on the TV as well as the player?

Hi

I wasnt exactly rushing out of the blocks to see this but on Blu Ray it is an amazingly good picture, i have a Ps3 (slim) and a Sony 350 both of which have 24fps turned on permanently.

I have a Samsung 40" LCD and it defaults to 24fps regardless, i would turn them on both your player and tv, ultimately if the disc doesnt support the frame rate the machine wont output 24fps and to be honest it is one of those things that you only notice when your consience tells you its on because the little blu light comes on the front of your player.

Think of it like HiFi buyers (wait until they start writing in) if you know a cd player costs 5 times more your brain will tell you it sounds 5 times better even if it doesnt.

I think 24p Smooth Film on the TV is like 100Hz mode for BD's. There's also intelligent Frame Creation (I don't usually have that on, sometimes with football and stuff though).

yea they call it different things, but if its interpolating frames its just making guesses, and it tends to make motion so smooth that it feels false, like bad cg was back in the day.

regular 100hz+ is another matter, it can help with things like pixel response.

Ive been using 24fps on my Samsung BD P2500, but on some Blu Rays I get terrible lip sync problems through my amp using optical and have to turn off 24fps which seems to sort out the problem. So far ive noticed this on 2 of my discs so far which are Ghostbusters and Labyrinth which are both Sony releases if that makes any difference. My other Blu rays are fine.
It sounds fine through the TV from the HDMI, but through the amp the sound comes just before the picture.
So now im at the stage of do I use it or do I not and will I notice any difference if i dont use it on disc that dont have lip sync issues?

I agree - I think with the bit of KFP I saw the motion was almost TOO smooth with "24p smooth film" on. However my player is always set to have 24p output on.

Check your manual that came with your AV-amp, most have an option to +/- shift for audio, should solve your lip sync issue

Tried that already, but no luck.
Its just those 2 discs so far. Perhaps I need to invest in a new amp with HDMI connection and 7.1 as my 5.1 amp is almost 9 years old.
