I decided to recalibrate for 1080/24p (I know, I am paranoid so I wanted to do a full recal even if it's not supposed to change anything) and noticed I couldn't see any difference, so I grabbed a cam an recorded the screen along with the reclock test bar:

Is the TV simply grabbing the 1080/24p signal and doing 3:2?

What model of TV is it? Just because it accepts 24p doesn't mean it displays at 48 or 72 Hz.

...the reclock test bar...

What the heck is a reclock test bar?

It's a tool built into Reclock to test for tearing/judder.

The TV is a 32 in. LG series 30

I doubt it displays 24p at a native rate, i.e. an integer multiple.

Is there a pattern or a reliable method to test this?

Nevermind. I found these: http://www.w6rz.net/judder.zip

I can confirm that the TV won't do real 1080/24p
