Skipping one frame every 40 seconds is not stutter. I've heard all the nonsense in the world related to this, "I'm really sensitive," "I edit video for a living," "my TV is really big," yada yada. Missing one frame per second is noticeable, but you would only notice one every 40 seconds if you stopped watching the content and instead watched for artifacts.

It's not nonsense. It's really annoying. It really sticks out on any linear motion. Sure - you won't spot it on static content, but I definitely see it instantly on moving stuff. I'm not looking for it - but I can't ignore it when I see it.

Full disclosure - part of my job is to spot faulty video. If I were to let through content that had a frame repeat or drop every 40" I wouldn't be doing the job I did. I have a reputation for spotting this stuff first time, every time. Same with lip sync... Doesn't mean I'm not thoroughly enjoying the content and watching it, just means that I'm capable of doing my job...

(And you have no idea how horrible I find 3:2 pull-down as a European brought up with 2:2 and 4% speedup...)
