Does this set automatically sense film (as opposed to video) content or must I make a manual adjustment to realize the 24p True Cinema feature?

Hi Caponsacchi, yes, it does using the Cinemotion option in the TV. Thanks. -joffrey

Thank you very much for the info. Should I go with the automatic setting or something else?

It plays mp4 format per instruction manual. Our Viewsonic, however, does not...that aspect may be defective

The auto adjusting backlight can be turned off. Most of the preset video options dont use the dynamic backlighting. It stays constant despite room light levels.

I can imagine, you do feel a bit traumatized by all that NTSC 240 interlaced content out there. There are no miracles. No water from a stone. That said, you can get progressive scan 4x3 or 10x9 from your source--so the better the source the cleaner the up-scanned content. So if your content is widescreen and fair 480p--you'll be happy, and if it happens to be in "full-screen" (don't start me on lies like that one) for the older NTSC sets, it can still look amazing ala Ren and Stimpy or Looney Tunes or sure--Tombstone (depending on your source.) The better the input, the better the output--including on HD Source where I see a marked difference. It deals pretty well with those darned compression artifacts. AT 82" you'd notice. I have them on Plasma, LCD, and an SXRD--and am really pleased with the way they work. Your mileage may vary. Grin.

From what I have read about my 1080p flatscreen. The picture is automatically upconverted to 1080p

Most computers will automatically set it for the best option. But you can always go in and manually do it. Mine usually sets it down one setting from the highest resolution setting.

Yes it can. Under the onscreen video options, while a disk is loaded and playing. There is a selection for 24p whenever you play a DVD disk. I also have the 24p set to on in the Setup options.

Yes as far as I remember you can select when to use 21:9 mode with the zoom feature as you stated. Some movies automatically default to it.

I set the flash on manual mode. Is that what you are asking, if not please clarify question.

I have connected a pc to it. It does, in fact, detect and display "1080p". I was pleasantly surprised. The televisions own info tab actually confirms input signal as "1080P". I got this gem for $250 to boot! Great set, great tuner, intuitive, and light.

Ed, to answer your second question (didn't see it the first time) the automatic Cinema Smooth feature is curious...the "Auto" selection is greyed out on my PN50B560, however, I can choose "Off" or "Cinema Smooth." When in Cinema Smooth mode, it appears to actually be in Auto mode...if I turn off 24fps on my PS3, it displays 60fps just fine, and when I turn on 24fps, it also displays just fine...I think they should just fix the menu and change "Cinema Smooth" to "Auto," and only have two menu options...obviously in addition to fixing the increased black level issue...

My mistake -- I was referring to the V10. Still, keep in mind the Samsung's 240Hz refresh does *not* help to dejudder film sources - it has a "dejudder" feature to do that and CNET preferred to leave it off I think.

It automatically adjusted based on the distance to the projection wall/screen.I highly recommend this unit due to the remote capability, high resolution, and auto focus functions etc.Overall, it is a best value for its functionality.

I have been trying to do that same thing. Some scenes get messed up by the auto-exposure. A couple steps down in the settings you can change how bright or dark the picture is but that pesky auto-exposure is still active. Let's hope if they ever put up another firmware update that they include that functionality like when they added the timer function.

Yes, I put it on Manual and the flash just pops right up. It does come up automatically.
