Re: How can I tell if my Panasonic TH-42PX60U Plasma has/is compatible with 24p?
Your plasma (2 years old) is not capable of accepting a 24p signal (it'll rely on doing a 3:2 pulldown on the 24 fps material on your plasma at 60Hz). BDs won't look any worse, so it can't hurt.

To get 24fps material (movies) to display on a 60Hz TV, the TV has to apply a 3:2 pulldown on the material so it still looks like 24fps on the screen.

(look at the "24p vs. NTSC video")
