24fps is intended for video only. Anything interactive at 24fps, as just moving the mouse around, is extremely choppy. No way anyone would prefer that over an interlaced resolution or a lower resolution. That is, by far, the worst option. Just try it on your screen, set it to 24Hz or alike, and tell me your experience. You can't even tell where the mouse is going to go.
