To be fair, for the couple of hours tv I watch a week I really don't think I'd notice the difference. Our telly is clear enough, after all who wants to be able to see the spots on the actors faces through their make-up?? :erm:

But films are made to play back at 24 fps. PAL is only 1 fps faster than that. NTSC plays at 29.97, so PAL is closer to the original. As a side note, this is why films on Region 2 DVD often have a different length to Region 1 DVDs (R1 is played back slightly faster).

Jerrek, have you ever seen any PAL 60 stuff (some TVs can display PAL at 60Hz)?

Most new TVs can do PAL60, its how NTSC is played back on a PAL TV.

Good point about the FPS. Also these days many TVs are 100Hz (does that make them 120Hz in the US) so flicker free.
