Joe, thanks for the very enlightening reply. You have hit the nail right on the head… The deal with 24p is simply about people’s perception and subjective preference. With HDTV, as it is the case with all other content delivery mechanisms (a.k.a. media) it will all boil down individual preferences. Nothing wrong with that IMHO! The only thing I recent from some people is when they try convince themselves and others that one approach is so much better than the other. We would be better off by educating consumers about the fact that they have many different options and that it is up to them to try and choose what they like.
Interesting how in the quest for the most convincing "film like" look we have tried to deal with resolution, contrast, dynamic range, aspect ratio, focal length, depth of field, exposure, and frame rate issues. Until now, however, I have not seen anyone look at how a real movie projector works (http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/movie-projector3.htm) and to try emulating the effects of a shutter opening and closing between every frame...
