Is it just me or watching movies on curved screen may feel smoother?

It's incredibly obvious that most movies are filmed at 23.976 FPS. They are "Okay" to me but certainly not as smooth as 60 FPS. I know what 60 FPS movies "may" look like, as I watch lots of 60 FPS trailers (on a nromal flat computer monitor). They are awesome.
Anyway, I just got a Samsung smart TV, and it's curved. I realize that watching movies on it make me feel...smoother than 24 FPS. I wouldn't say it's like watching 60 FPS trailer on a computer screen, but still, quite smooth..like, I don't know, 45 FPS maybe... Basically I just feel smoother.
So is it just me, or the curved 48 inch TV can actually give better viewing experience?

It could just have that artificial higher refresh rate where the tv essentially doubles the frames. It isn't like watching at 120Hz but it gives a smoother experience.

Movie (Hollywood) trailers aren't mastered at 60 FPS, they still use 23.976 for YouTube. CBender is likely correct here, Interpolation definitely makes everything seem smoother than what it's intended to look like. With that said, what you should do, if your TV is a native 120 Hz panel, with 240 Hz interpolation, is to disable interpolation, and in the blu ray player (if that's what you use), make sure you use 24p playback mode. This will give you the true feel the directors and editors went for, exactly like the cinema. Smoother doesn't always mean better, I personally think that interpolation makes things look too smooth, with that said, watching Hockey, and the puck is crystal clear while moving, that is really some crazy achievment by the manufacturers.

Let me rephrase that haha. Official trailers follow that standard.

For sports it's great. For everything else, it looks horribly fake. Smoother than life lol...
