Yikes go get a life, what your doing is just unnecessary... i bet if you did a test with 3 or 4 games which ones are running at 30fps and 60fps you'd probably guess them wrong... It barely makes any impact as your eyes can only tell 20fps from 25fps anything higher is practically undetectable, hence the 1080p where the P means it usually runs 24fps no matter what you do.

No, the P means it runs in progressive (or non-interlaced) mode. You can run as high as 60Hz non-interlaced in a 1080p TV (and sometimes even as high as 120Hz). This is easy to see in the 720p broadcasts of say ESPN HD (they chose 720p over 1080i because, as many of the sports they present are fast-paced and involve rapid camera movements, they prefer the smoother motion and the fact that progressive images don't suffer interlace tearing).

PS. As Army tests have shown, the human eye can potentially distinguish refresh rates as high as 200Hz or so, provided the differences are stark enough. Meanwhile, practically any person can tell the difference between a filmed television show and one using direct-to-TV recording, and many others can see the difference between a 30fps game (Soul Edge/Blade) and a 60fps one (Soul Calibur).
