I think I understand why motion Interpolation would cheapen the look of 24fps procuctions, and not that I disagree but I don't understand how the frame rate can make the lighting and production look poor. Slow motion cinematography doesn't have the cheap look of soap operas from the 1970s (whereas my viewing of Lord of the Rings on a high def set did) Is this because slow motion footage is typically played back at 24 or 30 fps?
Motion interpolation shouldn't screw up lighting, etc. However, TV's that have motion interpolation often have noise reduction. Film grain looks like noise to a noise reduction circuit. So there could be that visual aspect. Also, TV's tend to be set too bright and have the saturation cranked up. This crap sells TV. For critical viewing, it's important to get to know all the menus and submenus and advanced menus, etc. on the TV set.
Slo-mo is a whole different deal. Suppose you capture at 240 fps and playback at 24 fps. Another camera captures at 600 fps and plays back at 60 fps. They will both have the same apparent slo-mo effect (10x). One will have video-like smoothness, and the other will look like film.
