Topic: 23:5 vs 4:1 - 110 Hz vs 96 Hz

Hello guys, I have a question: when watching 24 fps content(anime), is it better to run SVP @110Hz with 23:5 mode, or @96Hz with 4:1 mode?
For clarification: My monitor is overclockable and overclocking it to 120 Hz would be a bit too demanding in the long run.

Thanks in advance.

I vote to 4:1.
It is case when you will see all original frames with some calculated frames. Full amount of original frames gives you maximum quality.

Definitely 4:1.  I did a test recently with a native 60fps video and it was smoother to watch it natively 1:1 @ 60hz  than with SVP doing 3:2 @ 90hz.  By comparison doing 2:1 @ 120hz was smoother than the original 60fps @ 60hz.

(The display used in question was a Trinitron CRT monitor, so it also essentually had built-in black frame insertion)


The tl;dr version is, exact integer ratios are always better,
