Hi guys, i've bought a Panasonic Plasma TV, TH-50PX80A and i've read in your Sep/Oct 2007 issue that it doesn't support 24fps from Blu-Ray players and retains the jerkiness create by the uneven frame rate necessary to fit 24 frames in 60 cycles.I have a Sony Blu-Ray Player BDP-S350 and i would like to know for the best video settings for my TV to play Blu-Ray.thanks.

I don’t think you have a problem. That review was the TH-50PX70A, the previous gen.
Your 80A DOES support 1080p/24 (see p46 of the manual), and if you’re connecting via HDMI, the Panasonic will tell the Sony Blu-ray player automatically. (The TV contains an EDID database which carries all the formats it can handle; the Sony will check that and choose the best possible format.)
Suggest you play a Blu-ray movie, and hit the INFO key on the Panasonic remote (below the 7 button) – this should display what the Blu-ray player is outputting. Almost definitely it’ll be 1080/24 (assuming the disc is) – on the offchance it says something odd, force the Blu-ray player’s output to 1080p/24 and check again.
Sounds like you have good gear for a great experience – enjoy!
