While I don't dispute what you say, I do point out that such a limitation
in
an HDTV at least reflects bad engineering for the VGA ****t.  The S-Video
****t
is NTSC based and as such is very timing and frequency dependent.  But the
VGA ****t represents video that could be as diverse, if not more so, than
the
analog component inputs, or a digital input (e.g. DVI or HDMI or ATSC). 
Since
HDTV video sources can range in frame rate (vertical frequency) from
23.976
to 60, why would the VGA input do any less?  Whatever an HDTV display can
do
with a p24 video, it should be able to do it on any of the inputs over
which
such a signal could arrive.  If it is capable of updating the LCD grid at
the
actual video frame rate, then why not do so with all inputs?  If it is
capable
of doing frame pullup to convert a lower frame rate, then why not do so
with
all inputs?
