Do I need IVTC?

[JarrettH]

Ok, please correct me if I'm wrong in my thinking!

Since my monitor only supports: 50hz, 59hz, 60hz, 29hz interlaced, 30hz interlaced (NEC EA231WMi)

Would it not be a better scenario to disable IVTC in nvidia control panel since playing a DVD back with it enabled (24 fps) will not nearly be a multiple of my display's refresh rate (60hz)?

Wouldn't playing a DVD back at its usual 30 fps give me much smoother motion being a multiple of my refresh rate?

It sounds like a great benefit - only if you can display 24 fps properly...right? :thanks:

If it's 24fps film sourced you have to get it to 60 Hz some way. I think I'd rather have it IVTC'd and have it play the full unprocessed frames rather than have it be deinterlaced. Either way it'll be slightly but maybe not noticeably jerky, but you should get better picture quality from the IVTC.

Film isn't 30fps and has either been soft telecined or hard telecined to output 30fps. Both are slightly jerky. For pure interlaced 30fps video yes, it'll play smoothly after being deinterlaced.
