I can't stand movies where the feame rate is too high, I always turn down or off smoothing AI for films and TV shows, a little but is nice but too much and it feels like you get the "soap opera" effect which takes away from the experience. Give me 24 frames per second, slightly smoothed, no more than 30 and I'm good. The Hobbit films caused a controversy at 45fps so it's not just a few of us either, the majority feel this way but as high fps become default on TVs and no one seems to calibrate their TV settings, I expect the newer generation to accustom to 60 fps and us older folks will be forced to accustom too.

Yep, I know I'm not in a majority when it comes to this preference. Hench why cinemas and movie makers generally do not increase the framerates presented. As well as they shouldn't since most prefer it that way. And because of this I like watching movies at home more than at the cinema. 

One of the most important aspects for my when buying a new TV is the frame insertion and motion handling tech the TV provides. I want a smooth, clear, stutter free picture without washed out details around the moving objects or ugly artifacts. The best option would be if the source already had higher fps but since so few releases go for it I have to put my trust in the TV-manufacturers ability. 

Yep they'd really need to film at 60fps. I'd hold out hope though, I'd reckon it will change as the younger generation grow up with smooth frame rates and never experience the soap opera effect.
