The 60fps myth should be wearing thin by now, and I'm sad to see it repeated so often on HN.

I don't have the relevant links available to me currently, but suffice to say the eye can pick up on far, far more than 60 fps.

The fast forward look is just an adjustment period, you experience the same watching videos of games at 60fps (even though they're played in 60fps normally, it's a very odd thing).

Ah, fair enough - thanks for the correction. However, the problem still stands that 48fps still doesn't look "right" to most people. I saw The Hobbit, loved it. And I want a faster frame rate than 24 - I think it can add to the experience. But for whatever reason, 48 just never looked ..... "Right." And I'm not alone.
