I don’t know of any sets currently on the market that convert 60P to 24P, but it would be possible to do if that feature was in demand. You would need to then up the 24HZ again to eliminate the flicker. Its better that the display accept the input of the source material then having to convert it. For example if someone is playing a Playstation 3 videogames that was encoded in 1080P/60fps then one would want the display to accept 60HZ signal and display 60HZ or 120HZ refresh rate. 1080P/60 takes a lot of bandwidth and currently no studio broadcast cameras support 1080P/60. Many of the studio cameras broadcasters use 1080P/24 standard. 35MM and 70MM film is also converted to 1080P/24. Broadcasters do not send the signal out at 24HZ since very few monitors support 24HZ. Also the problem with 24HZ is that people would go nuts seeing their monitor flicker every few seconds. Higher refresh rates are always better. Monitors that accept 24fps input have to convert the 24HZ signal from BLU-RAY or HD-DVD players to 48HZ, 72HZ, 96HZ or 120HZ in order to eliminate the flicker of 24HZ video. The higher the refresh rate the less motion artifacts one will see.
