[Pc_Support] RE: HDTV 1080i, 720p, 480p resolutions -- WAS: 17" LCDs drop under $200 for DVI

I doubt this is what your talking about, but on this website: 
http://www.cnet.com/4520-7874_1-5107912-1.html
it says:

 2:3 pull-down detection - Also (and less accurately) called 3:2
pull-down; digital technology developed by Faroudja to accurately
convert and display content originally on celluloid film, which runs
at 24 frames per second (fps) compared to the 30fps rate of
television. It is found in many DVD players and DTVs.
