This means that both film and video can be processed to display on it without judder.

Again, it's about being able to display both types of content smoothly regardless of or as long as the input is either 24 or 60 frames/fields per second.

I don't believe I've missed the point, but I may have confused you by stepping in to the middle here... I do not have a 120hz display, I have a multisync display... I would like the unit to output 60hz for video content and 24 (or 48 or 72) for film content.

I guess Stanger's suggestion would be best for this.

Oh, ok, that's assuming your display can accept that as an input. Multisync displays generally have a specific set of resolutions and refresh rates they are capable of syncing to. I don't believe I've ever seen a computer monitor that can specify a 24Hz refresh rate. I would guess an HDTV or a monitor that is capable of working as an HDTV would. But not a standard computer monitor.

Multisync doesn't mean that the monitor can sync to anything. Just that it has a table of resolutions and refresh rates that it can. Versus a fixed frequency monitor that has only a single resolution and refresh rate that it works with (e.g. CGA or EGA). Wow, that makes me feel old.

There are no 24p displays (or VERY few, excluding projectors). There are few that did 48p but theres still noticeable flicker at that low of a refresh rate. 72hz is a common computer monitor resolution, and there are a few HDTV's that do 72hz (since its 24p times 3).
