4096 has always been a bit of an odd resolution to me. 3840 x a higher number would make more traditional sense.
To the point though:
I have always opted for the extra 6 frames over than the 'cinemtaic' 24hz frame rate.

Which do you prefer?
 
Its not what others prefer I believe its what you prefer?

No absolute right or wrongs. Just learning.
 
Well i prefer more frames per second obviously.
But is the whole 24 fps thing just an antiquity from NTSC broadcast signal ?
Or is there something to it? like how are eyes work or somthing..
I dunno thats why im asking

I believe 24FPS - European and 30FPS for US

More likely 50fps Europe(PAL)- 60 US (NTSC). 24 originated as a universal frame rate for film. I don’t know why- might be a compromise between economy and acceptable depiction of motion (think I remember that as a popular explanation).

As in 24 fps was the lowest acceptable, or the ideal?
thats what im interested in
 
24fps is used in films to give an acceptable amount of motion blur to get that cinematic look

Basically lowest acceptable.
But given that films nearly all use this it has become a part of the "cinematic look" people expect for them (along with a bunch of other characteristics that need to be respected for it to work), hence why they continue to use it.
4096x2160 is also cinema standard.

Nothing technical/medical

More you have seen 24fps in cinema for so long now it 'feels' right.

So learned behaviour more than anything I think.

This is very true.
Every time i walk into another person's house with a TV on.
I will notice straight away if 'Motion Flow' (different names for it with each Manufacturer)
is Turned on. I cant stand it.

As y'all probably know It's a algorithm that guesstimates frames to imitate a higher refresh rate,
but just ends up looking unrealistic/goofy. Possibly good for sport, but nothing else

And i notice if the person has Kids, they think it's weird with it off, as they've grown up with it.

Its the same as growing up in Australia with PAL, American content always had a strange 'produced' look to it.
Bold & the Beautiful looked like there was a stocking over the lens
If your from Oz, you'll understand

On the plus side, VHS Movies probably looked cooler
 
Europe was pal too [emoji4]

You watched bold and the beautiful??? Don’t own up to that down the local.....

Seriously though the biggest issue was probably PAL has 100 lines over NTSC, converting 525 to 625 with analogue methods would look a bit dodgy.

Yep 'EastEnders' had the same cheap look as Neighbours from 576i@25hz

Bold & the Beautiful mentioned purely for similar quality, production values to compare formats.
I remember an episode of Fast Foward where they made fun of the effect by smearing petroleoum jelly on the lens
before doing a Bold & the Beautiful bit
