I think you're wrong, Carl Eugen. A 60Hz TV has a screen that runs at 60Hz, only. If you give it 
something else, it converts it. If you give it 24fps, the TV's electronics telecines it. Now, the 
player is supposed to query the HDMI capabilities and do the telecine for the TV, but I'm pretty 
sure that the TV can also telecine.

My TV says it's 60Hz. It says it accepts 23 to 76 fps. Those are its responses to an HDMI query via 
MonInfo.

Not according to my eyes.
