> noo motion smoothing is terrible unless you like soap operas and not cinema

That's what's so good about it. They say turning it off respects the artists or something, but when I read that I think "so I'm supposed to be respecting Harvey Weinstein and John Lasseter?" and it makes me want to leave it on.

> black frame insertion is to lower even more the pixel persistence which really does nothing for 24fps content which already has a smooth blur built in to the image

That's not necessarily true unless you know to set it to the right mode for different content each time. There are also some movies without proper motion blur, eg animation.

Or, uh, The Hobbit, which I only saw in theaters so maybe they added it for home release.

> he best is setting your tv to 120hz so that your 24fps fits evenly and you don't get 3:2 pulldown judder

That's not really a TV mode, it's more about the thing on the other side of the TV I think, but yes you do want that or VFR.
