ATV 4K has micro-stutters with Netflix 24.00 fps content - will Apple offer true 24fps support?

I have recently observed that when my Apple TV 4K plays 24.000 fps 4K content I get small micro-stutters on playback of my LG C9 OLED display when using frame-rate matching. I don't see the stutters when the content is played on the TVs native Netflix app. Netflix has some titles (The Witcher is one) that are displayed in 24.000 FPS instead of 23.976 FPS in the North American market.

It seems that perhaps Apple is not allowing the ATV to handle 4K resolution playback at 24.000 FPS.

Is it on the Apple roadmap to support these frame-rates? I prefer using my ATV for content playback but it's annoying dealing with this problem and so I will have to resort to using the TVs native player for some material.

The Apple Tv 4k definitely doesn't support 24.000 fps content. With framerate match on it's taking 24.000 fps content and playing back at 23.976 hz which is resulting in a very noticeable stutter every 42 seconds. Netlfix is putting out a bunch of 24.000 fps content for whatever reason (The Irishman, Bird Box, The Witcher) so it would be nice if Apple decided to support this framerate with the growing library thanks to Netflix. I'm having to use my webos app to play this content which I shouldn't have to do.
