Yes, the 'soap opera effect' is a problem LCDs with motion interpolation ("perfect motion", "motion enhancement" etc) suffer from. Playing 24fps video on a 120hz screen means that every frame will be shown 5 times. When using motion interpolation, your LCD TV shows every frame once but generates the other 'intermediary' frames. So basically when playing video at 24fps on a 120hz screen with motion interpolation 4 out of 5 frames are not original frames but something your TV's processor generated.
