I have a 120 fps TV. Panning shots at 24 fps still give me an instant headache.

Real is good, it’s ergonomic and accessible. Until filmmakers understand that, I’ll have to keep interpolation on at the lowest setting.

It's not just the framerate mismatch, OLED's un-pulsed presentation with almost instant response time greatly reduces the perceived motion smoothness of lower framerate content compared to eg, CRTs or plasma displays

The same happens to me in cinemas at 24 fps, it’s not the display technology that is giving me headaches.

Not sure if it's the same thing, but nearly all cinemas are digital nowadays, and panning artifacts are absolutely still there

It’s happened to me since before any cinemas were digital. I only figured out why by trying to play games below 30 fps. At least for me, it’s definitely the frame rate.

It depends on the shot a lot too. Good DPs will use a panning speed that looks much smoother at 24fps.
