How does 24p affect me? (a man trying to figure out if he needs the 800u)

24Hz would be extremely noticeable to the eye, extreme flicker.
When you notice a flicker in the cinema, that's already at 48Hz. You'd only use true 24Hz mode in editing I would imagine.

The Kuro only uses 72Hz for 24p content. It uses 60Hz for video content.
