There is only a difference if you have a display capable of showing 1080p24. That is, it supports 24,48,120Hz refresh rates. The benefit is that you get 1 to 1 displaying of the frame, instead of relying on processing to fudge the 24 frames into 60. The benefit is that it eliminates judder.
If your display doesn't support an exact multiple of 24hz (and by far the majority don't), then 1080p doesn't give you much, if anything.
