this being the movie “the hobit”? if so, the average tv plays at 60hz and never passes 29.5fps… the average blue ray plays between 45-60fps, which would be barily noticable on a 60 hz television. in order to see ranges up to 60fps you need closer to a 120hz television, at which point many people can not see 60fps… i can… i am an avid gamer XD. most gamers use 120hz monitors or CRTs because they both reach higher frame rates, allowing most gamers to reach up to 80+fps and actually see and feel the difference. if you want to see it in a higher fps, go see it in Digital IMAX. IMAX plays around 500+fps. many people associate IMAX with the size of the screen, but in reality it is just so they can reach a larger audience due to the expense… IMAX is considdered more real because of it high frame rates on a 1000hz+ digital projector.
arexma: When I am waiting in a semaphore and cars pass by, some of them I see the wheels rotating forward and some of them rotate backwards. That is because the frame rate of my eyes. If you don’t have frame rate in your eyes fine. But I have. And flies also have. I don’t remember the numbers but flies was like 4x faster than humans. So if humans is 100 flies was 400 (I think it was 600).
There are multiple experiments you can do to know the frame rate of your eyes. The wheels of passing cars when waiting in a semaphore is just one.
Another could be show someone one image that changes to another one only in one frame. For example if you show someone 5 images of an apple and then 1 of an lemon, that makes 6 frames per second. And obviously the guy will say: eh the apple disappeared and a lemon appeared and I could see it.
Then you show him 23 apples and 1 lemon for a 24 fps.
Then 47 apples and 1 lemon movie for 48 fps.
Then 129 apples and 1 lemon movie for 130 of frame rate.
When the guy only sees apples that means that you are above their frame rate.
I was looking to a 24 movie as I explained later.
Then I talked about a software program that creates 60 frames per second. My computer screen is 60 hz. And watching The Hobbit at 60 frames per second using this program was absolutely gorgeous. Also Avatar looked much better.
Yup. Like everyone is saying, eyes don’t really have a set fps. Though I don’t have numbers (by the looks of it, other people on this thread do) but I understand that fps can change, depending on condition. (fatigue, stress, etc.)
Though it’s my personal opinion, I find too many fps somewhat nauseating. For example, I can’t even handle some of the 60fps and games, and something like 30fps video can do stuff to me. I don’t know why.
What I’ve noticed is that higher fps seems to make motion more vivid, or something, and I might just not like the lack of blur I usually don’t feel on low fps.
Hmm… I in the other hand, can get a headache more easily if the frame rate is low or keeps jumping. Especially in racing games I find it disturbing when the motion is not fluid and my brains are trying to fill in the missing frames in fast situations 
The frame rate question seems to be playing out on Red Shark right now guys. And, if I’m not mistaken they are now cameras capable of 120 and even 240 fps. Leaving one guy with big bucks invested in professional video equipment to say enough already. Check that here is a camera capable of 1000 fps in 4k. http://gizmodo.com/5994009/4k-video-at-1000-frames-per-second-will-melt-your-eyes Base price 109,900 dollars. Anyway maybe the two links will interest you.
i would imagine so. anything that creates a buffer to simulate a higher frame rate… it doesnt matter if the frames have any real content, it will just be a bit more blury… will look better *(even better if its 120hz and blue ray, but still better than dvd quality)
