In December when I first got my A-35 player I noticed that it needed a firmware upgrade and so I asked a friend to download the firmware and I installed it not knowing which upgrade it was. Since that time I heard what 1080/24 was and the problems with the firmware disabling 1080/24. At the time I had set up my player I only set it for 1080. Since learning more about 1080/24, I have since set my player for 1080/24. However I can never tell if its on. When 1080/24 is in use does the player indicate in the window? All I have ever seen displayed is 1080p, Adv. disc. How can you tell? Or have I lost it with my firmware update?
Thanks in Advance!

Not sure what display you have, but my display will report the input resolution and frequency when I hit display on my Samsung DLP, so I will see 1920x1080 @ 60Hz for 1080p60, 1920x1080i @ 60Hz for 1080i60, and so forth.

My display is not 24Hz capable, so I have not put my players into 1080p24 mode to see what would happen.

My understanding is benefit of 24p is supposed to be a much smoother picture for film-based material. That would be one way to tell.

Thanks Bunkaroo! I knew it enhances film-based material. Hmmm, I guess like many mine must be deactivated.

My projector's menu displays its current output. For Blu-ray movie content it shows 1080/24p because I've enabled it on my PS3.

If you set the player to "Up to 1080p24" but your display indicates that 1080p60 is what's coming in, then either your display does not support 1080p24 at all or it does, but it fails to do the HDMI handshake properly, so the player reverts to 1080p60.

Kefrank-
My player only displays on the screen 1080p. I will look at the manual of my TV because you make a good point that my TV might not support it( in my set up I have indicated up to 1080p24.
