and the classic UFO test.

People can notice 60fps and 120fps even easier.

People can also notice a 120hz monitor vs 144hz....

There must also be a difference between video and this test, as even at 120 pixels/second text is not scrolling smooth at 30fps. Yet end titles from movies at 24fps don't seem to jump like the text example does. (And yes I have 24p mode on both tv and projector)

This jumping that's going on, is when you take a different FPS material and output it in a higher FPS. This is what happens when film is telecined to 29.97fps. You're adding in fake frames. So a half jump is forced in. Watch a side by side comparaison of Star Trek TNG. You'll see the 24fps film moves smoothly. But the tape master footage at 30fps jerks around, and lags behind.
