I don't deny that a TV that can display 50Hz will give better results. Converting 50Hz field rates to 60Hz will result in jitter on movement.
However you conclusions are wrong .
PAL is 50Hz (except in Brazil which uses a special 60Hz PAL known as PAL M).
NTSC is 60Hz everywhere including the output of your DVD machine.
Automatic means it will output PAL from a 576i disk as used in Europe and NTSC from a 480i disk as used in US, Canada, and Japan.
I do suggest you try it with a TV switched to true NTSC or failing that look at it with a waveform monitor.
