No, actually, they likely won't. It is a dis-service to have a display
accept 24p since it will result in far too much flicker if displayed
directly. So, the display will have to do some sort of conversion to
another frame rate. Since this is best done in the player itself--where
it has access to the original data and can do it most efficiently--displays
won't likely directly accept 1080/24p.
In addition, since every player will have to output 1080/60i and there is
*no* information lost in the 24p to 60i conversion (and quality is not
noticably different), there will be no need for a display to accept 24p,
since 60p is just as easy to do in the player and more useful for the
display.
