3:2 pulldown is really just framerate issues, isn't it? That doesn't mean that it's the same as 1080i. There is still the fact of only half the image being displayed at any given moment. No matter the frame, there will still be that blur in interlaced videos...1080p even in 3:2 pulldown displays the whole image on the screen at any given moment, so even with frame rate issues there won't be that blur effect from interlaced displays.

Well, obviously the display must support progressive scan. Otherwise, supporting 3:2 pulldown doesn't make sense. The point of 3:2 pulldown is to recreate full-frame, non-interlaced images from the interlaced signal when the source material is 24 fps. The display then shows the full frames all at once, not half and half. Just like it would if it were receiving a 1080p signal.

 I thought the point of 3:2 pulldown was to support 60Mhz HDTVs so the video wouldn't be moving faster than it actually should. Which is why 120Mhz TV's are good because instead of adding different amounts of frames each time so it actually plays at the right speed, you only have to add 5 frames for 24fps movies and you only have to add 4 frames for 30fps movies. So 1080p with 3:2 pulldown is still displaying all the lines on the screen...just adding a different amount of frames in certain intervals to make 24fps match 60Mhz(60fps). Or am I mistaken?
