I apologise if my specific question as been asked and answered elsewhere, but the other threads covering this topic don't appear to directly answer my question.
So... I have a Sony PS3 connected via an HDMI 1.3a cable into a Denon 3808CI and on through another HDMI 1.3a cable into my Mitsubishi WD-65733.
I realize that movies are shot in 24fps and that the PS3 can output this signal as either 1080p/24 or 1080p/60. My gear all along the chain can pass either signal into the Mits just fine.
However, to the best of my knowledge the Mits is still a 60hz only set and if I send in a 1080p/24 it's going to do a 3:2 pulldown to produce 1080p/60. (If I'm wrong on this particuliar point with regard to how my Mits handles 1080p/24 someone please correct me.)
In an ideal world I realize there should be No difference as to wether the PS3 performs the 3:2 pulldown or whether my Mits does. However, we all live in the real world. I know for a fact that the line doubler in my 6 year old 46" was so bad that I gladly forked over $700 for an Iscan Pro to offload the 480i to 480p conversion. (This particuliar set had a "red bleed" artifact that was introduced by the line-doubler in squeeze mode that was very obvious... using an external line-doubler that did it's own squeezing completely elliminated this problem for me). Now I haven't noticed anything so significant with my new gear, but the point is the same... some hardware does some jobs better than other hardware.
So... in others' experience... will the PS3 or the Mits do a better job? Or more specifically should I set my PS3 to output 1080p/60 or lock it in at 1080p/24?
Thanks,
-Alan
