First and most important, it delivers the correct cadence for 1080p/24 film-based material, namely when Auto Motion Plus (AMP) is set to either Off or Custom with a 0 on the "judder reduction" slider. Other AMP settings affected film cadence negatively to my eye; Clear showed the slightly halting cadence of 2:3 pull-down, which is still preferable to the buttery smoothness of Standard and the buttery-while-listening-to-Kenny G smoothness of Smooth.
If you happen to like smoothness, aka the "soap opera effect," you'll appreciate that Custom's "judder reduction" slider actually works well to gradually make the image smoother in subtle stages as you move from 0 to 10 -- in contrast to other makers' TVs, which don't offer nearly that level of customization. The move from 0 to 1 on the slider was actually so subtle that I, an admitted film cadence purist, was half-tempted to watch at 1 instead, since it took a bit of the "edge" off the most juddery sequences.
In terms of motion resolution all modes, with the exception of Off, delivered the full 1,200 lines in my test, and Clear looked the best of the bunch, with a bit less trailing than the rest. To get the full resolution I set Custom's "blur reduction slider" to 10. If you've been paying attention, that means that in Custom, at 0 "judder reduction" and 10 "blur reduction" the UNES8000 actually delivered full motion resolution and correct film cadence, a feat few TVs can match."
I can't see how the tv wouldn't accept 24p content. Like I said, I've been playing blu-rays in 24p and I have no problem at all with stuttering while watching blu-rays, or watching 24p files off my media player when outputting 1080p/24 or 720p/24.
Also - Do you guys actually call these issues in to Samsung via telephone? If not, these issues will never get fixed. A Samsung tech told me a while ago when I called that their firmware fixes get priority based on how many phone calls they get in - they have software that creates a pie-chart of how many calls come in about what problems - the bigger the piece of the pie chart, the more likely they will address it. Complaining on the forum can help to spread the word, and maybe see if there is a common problem, but if you want results, please, call Samsung and report it!

check out my earlier post (http://www.avsforum.com/t/1260297/samsung-auto-motion-plus-not-hd-compatible/30#post_22208047)
what they mean is that the TV cannot accept a 120Hz or 240Hz signal, the maximum is only 60Hz
since 24Hz is under 60Hz, it can be supported (though whether you get 5:5 or 10:10 pulldown instead of the less smooth 2:3 pulldown depends on how AMP is set and which model/year of Samsung you have)
