While I agree that it's a far cry short of a true 1080p display, 1080/24p input/processing does offer a couple of major benefits on ANY HD display:

1. No de-interlacing required. Therefore no chance of inferior bob de-interlacing or incorrect weaving (causing loss of resolution, combing or interpolation artefacts). You simply get a neat progressive down-scale from 1080p to 768p.

2. No 3:2 judder! This is a huge benefit allowing faithful 3:3 pull-down for HD 1080p material resulting in clean judder free movement at 72hz.

3. The lack of any intensive processing/de-interlacing should theoretically result in a sharper cleaner picture.

Sure its doesn’t compare to a true 1080p display, but 1080p input is still a very worthwhile addition to any quality 720p/768p HD display.
