As far as I know the DVI module in the Panasonic comercial panel does not support 24p at all, you need to upgrade to the new HDMI module with two  inputs. Not sure how B&O handles this with their version of the Panasonic stuff. This module fits in the G10 series only.

http://www.panasonic.com/business/plasma/boards.asp click on this board: TY-FB10HMD 

 

I can see a huge difference with 24p, just take a look at BBC's Planet Earth, there are so many vertical moves where you can see the improvement. (my expirience is based on a 24p HD-DVD player with a JVC HD1 Full-HD projectoron a 103" screen)

My understanding, from another post here on Beoworld that explained the new software is that even on a non-24p panel, i.e. a BV7 MKIII there would still be improvement. Not true 24fprs in the traditional sense but a simulated 24fprs for lack of a better description. Also, reading Alex's post I thought he was a dealer. If so, I wonder if the 65 inch that it was installed on was a latest version BV4?

Here is the quote from another forum here on Beoworld I referring to in my previous post.

Doc:

Can you please explain what the update is supposed to do?

In other words; can I tell a difference in picturequality? Or is it only usefully when playing DVD or Bleary?

 

 

 

The update are only useful when you are watching DVD, BluRay and broadcasted movies. So what does this fix solve? Everything that is recorded in 24Hz are going to get much smoother and more detailed in picture movements and pans( Less pixel reduction).. In ordinary TV broadcastings the material are recorded in 50Hz (Pal) and 60Hz (NTSC) and you are getting a picture by picture match on your TV, but not when it´s comes to movies. Moviematerial are usually recorded in 24Hz and that means you only get half the pictureamount the TV need´s for a smooth result.

What B&o have dun with the 25p firmware update: 

Because the panel can only handle 50 or 60 Hz and not 100 Hz they have interpolated the frequency with 25p x 4 = 100 Hz and then  divide it with 2. Now you get 50Hz match for a more picture to picture sync.. So you are only missing 4 fps insted of 26 fps loss when you watch a move..

And you must be aware of that this is not a real 24p mode.. If you want real 24p you need a 100Hz / 120Hz panel, but it´s as good as it can be...

Alex, I am being told that 4.24 is not yet available in the US. I just wanted to confirm that you are a dealer and that it is in fact available to all US dealers now for download such that I can in fact have it installed on our new BV7 next week when it is delivered.

 

Thanks!

Razlaw, 

4.24 is up and running just outside DC.  And I agree with Alex that the new frame really looks nice on the BV-4 65.
