Films are shot at 24 frames per second (FPS) and TVs work at 25FPS making movies 4% shorter when displayed on the TV than at the cinema

Do we get better quality on the TV then?

Nope, worse quality. The resolution is far less and it's too quick!
Computer games run at 60fps!

I've seen people complaining that the DVD versions of films are a few minutes shorter than the cinema version. They think that something's been cut out, when it's just that the DVD version runs fractionally quicker for this reason.

It's different in the US, where TV is 30fps. They have to repeat frames to convert from 24fps to 30fps, which can produce jerky pictures.

High-definition blu-ray disks can play 24fps on HDTVs that support it.

I'd better stop here, before I start to use phrases like 'inverse telecine'.
