If that means what it seems to mean, yuck.

Indeed.

Indeed.  Why would I want to have to mangle the input source to make it
match a design limit in the output path.  I got a TV that switches frame
rates for exactly this purpose.  The more you can match output to input,
of course, the better the playback is going to look.
