Can you underclock a monitor to 48htz?

....so that 24fps films would look better?

Google didn't show much on the subject.

dont think so(at least not easily) as your monitor refresh rate depends on the GFX card it's attached to (and the modes it supports) as well as the native modes the screen supports. PDVD does seem to be able to do it though

Depends on the monitor. Some can, some cannot.

... but you could use a 120Hz monitor (24x5=120) instead.

Yeah I'd love a 120htz monitor for that very reason but they're always out of my price range.

What about overclocking to 72htz?

I believe a display would more likely work with 48Hz (instead of 50) than 72Hz (instead of 60). 72Hz would require a lot more bandwidth.
The problem is, that 48Hz will never be advertised in a datasheet. You'll know after you bought it.

Maybe i'll try for 48htz then. I'll report back with findings!

btw for playing bds on my beamer, should i set the refreshrate to 23,xxx or to 60 Hz?

Does PowerDvD for example automatoly adjust the refresh-rate?

Depends on the source. US discs usually have the feature at 23.98 fps, but 24.00 fps (Cinema speed) is possible, too. 25.00 and 50.00fps for TV Shows (Doctor Who & Co.) from PAL countries.

Newer PowerDVD versions at least try to. I am not sure, if they always do it right.
