How does G-sync and 144>60hz effect playing movies?

[FizzBatt]

Just curious if G-sync would effect playing movies at all? Also would 144hz over 60hz effect movies?

G-Sync eliminates tearing. Movies do not have tearing. It plays no effect.

And your second question...

Movies are going to appear smoother on the 144 Hz display, because there won't be any need for 3:2 pulldown, like you would have on the 60 Hz display.

This is only true for TVs. Computer monitors can play back content at it's native FPS.

There's also a 24p mode in players as well as TV's. But playing back a video at 24 FPS without duplicating frames is going to be unwatchable. 24 FPS + (theoretical) 24 Hz you're saying?

Movies are shot in 24FPS. The Hobbit is the first movie to be shot in 48FPS.

Yes, my point was just that both monitors and TV's will duplicate frames, which is why 144 Hz 24p movies will appear smoother than on a 60 Hz panel, no 'telecine' applied.

True, it gets slightly more close to actual 24Hz. but honestly, who would notice? It must be one heck of a boring movie to even think of something like that.

I tried looking for a good YouTube video but they didn't show it very well. But playback at 24 FPS on a 60 Hz monitor, and watch it stutter a bit while panning slowly. Sometimes it's hard to notice, because the camera op. could be the source of the stutter as well. 😛

Pretty much every TV is 60Hz and I've never seen an issue.

Not quite. Basically, a 60 Hz monitor cannot playback at 24hz without issue, as you said. This is where progressive scan comes in. What it essentially does is reverse the process of 3-2 pulldown by scanning the frames ahead and correcting any artifacts left by the 3-2 pulldown process. What you get is essentially 24 Hz video being played at 30 Hz without an pulldown artifacts. Of course, this can still leave judder but progressive scan has been around for awhile and has become very good at what it does.

There are a few 120 Hz native and 120 Hz native 3D TV's as well. There are also 240 Hz, and 480 Hz native panels on the higher end, without faking frames mind you. Obviously all 3D TV's run at 120 Hz or more, 30 FPS per eye would be torture. A lot of people prefer the old "film look", which is clearly 'slower' than if you record at 30 FPS, the difference in 6 frames can't make things look that smooth, that's all the TV. However, play back the same clip at 24 FPS captured on a 120 Hz panel, and it'll appear super smooth, in comparison...

Use CTRL F and search 2:3, good explanation there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecine

Thank you, I just assumed it did the same thing with a monitor. I can see it on both a monitor and TV, they look identical to me. Thanks for clearing that up... I've got some reading to do. 😛
