But as I suspected, with 60hz tv there's no point in me getting a device which does 23.976 playback. Thanks.Why would you not want Kodi to autoswitch your TV into 24p Cinema Mode mode to playback 23.976fps video for silky smooth video playback ?
I fail to see what your problem is. You do not need a 120Hz TV.
Because kodi will not play 23.976 smoothly on at tv with a max hz of 60hz running at 24hz. The tv, as you said, will do a 3:2 pulldown.
A 120hz tv will not have the problem as 120hz 'fits' into 24p cinema mode (x5)
If you're saying that's not the case then good, but I've read a few times that the above is the case.
Not strictly true. I have 24p playing fine on my Sony 40W4000 in 24p True Cinema mode with no 3:2 pulldown. This is a regular 50/60Hz European HD set from c. 2008 with no additional 100/120Hz processing or refresh rates. 24p stuff is, I believe, displayed at 48Hz. Because it's an LCD panel with a constant backlight, you don't get the large area flicker you'd get on a CRT or Plasma (which use emissive pixels and thus flicker at refresh rate, or multiples of it)
So - you can get 24p displayed cleanly, with no 3:2 judder, on a non-120Hz display. Whether sets like the 40W4000 were sold in the US I can't say - but they were certainly available in Europe, and I bought one specifically because my previous HD set (a Sony 40W2000) had no support for anything but 50 and 60Hz, so my Blu-rays I had started to buy were unwatchable with 3:2 judder. (I'm really sensitive to it)
