the only sightly misleading thing is "exact" because it doesn't have to be exact.

that why this option is there so it will trigger with refresh rates that are a multiply of the source or very very close to it. for a 23p source 120 hz is close enough to trigger this option.

my english is pretty bad but this is totally clear to me.
You are right about the english, I think I have always added a "not" in my head when reading that line.

So this option is basically "always, unless the refresh rate equals the source frame rate"? I think the "exact" threw me off.

However, why does it work this way? Is there a reason to want smooth motion to trigger when the refresh rate is an exact multiple of the source? Is this for slightly off refresh rates and because smooth motion blurs too much when used at source frame rate?
