It's called being a perfectionist, I bet that 80 percent of the humans on the planet can not even see the pull down from playing 24p on 60p displays much less care about it. It this really bothers you, then I suggest buck out for big iron and run an I7/nvidia setup. There's perfection in XBMC on desktop but you pay for it.

I think it's much more visible to those of us who have grown up not watching it on TV. In my experience many people who grew up in 50Hz land with 24fps content sped up to 25fps, and with content shot 25fps natively, displayed 2:2 at 50Hz find the 3:2 pulldown of 24fps content displayed at 60Hz really noticeable.

I live in the UK and when Blu-rays first came out (and 24p TVs weren't widely available) lots of my friends (and family) asked why it looked so 'jerky' compared to movies on DVD and TV. 24Hz output and 24p-friendly TVs (that correctly display at nice multiples 2:2, 3:3, 4:4 etc.) make it much nicer to watch for those of us who see it.

We had to ditch our first HDTV, that only did 50Hz and 60Hz, when we started watching Blu-ray moves - as we couldn't cope with 3:2 pulldown.

However people I know who grew up in the US, or spent a lot of time there as adults, just don't notice 3:2 (or don't see it as a problem).

(As for 25p and 50i content at 60Hz... That's even worse)
