We talk about interpolation or repeating frames for 24p but it seems
simpler if a multisync display just displayed them at 24 fps.  On a
non-flickering (non-interpolating) fixed pixel display there shouldn't
be any difference between 24, 48, or 72 Hz display when the source is
24p.  So why don't the displays just sync to 24?
