I was all set to buy one of the new Panasonic plasma displays when I read a CNET review that stated that there is unwatchable flicker when viewing 24fps sources in 1080p/24 mode. I assume that all of the Panasonic plasmas with a 48hz mode will suffer from the same problem.
That leaves me with a dilemma. As far as I know, the only other plasmas that can display 1080p/24 are the Pioneers, and they are both too large for my room and too pricey for my budget. Of course there are a number of 120hz LCDs that can handle 1080p/24 (I've been looking at the Samsung 46A650 and the Sony 46Z4100), but I'd prefer to go with Plasma for various reasons.
My questions are:
1. Has anyone seen the Panasonics in 1080p/24 mode? Can you confirm the flicker? How bad is it?
2. Are there other plasmas (besides the Pioneers) that display 1080p/24?
Thanks in advance!
