I bought a Samsung LE40M87BD last summer after a large amount of research.

It ticks most of your boxes. 1920*1080P @ 24FPS if fed with that source (full 1:1 pixel mapping 1920*1080). My HD sources are Sky HD through 1 HDMI, a PS3 through another, and XBOX360 through VGA. It's 40", so bigger than your 37 you mentioned.
I very much doubt that anything will be upgradable to HD via terrestrial broadcast as
not sure if the specs are even nailed down yet,
Here is a huge, huge thread on this TV:

Those forums are a gold mine of information in general. That was July 2007 so there may be better around now, but I'm still very happy indeed with my TV and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to you.
Note the Blu-Ray player will play (and the TV will show) UK programmes at 25FPS, but films at 24FPS. There's no "dropping of frames" going on. You get exactly what's on the disk.

Ah, so it's not a dropping of a frame, the films have only 24fps on them, and the players/TVs add the extra frame?
Nope, that TV gets fed 24 FPS from the disk, and plays it at 24 FPS too. There's no modification of anything whatsoever. You get the true movie experience.
For PAL it is fed given 25FPS and plays it at 25FPS.

You will get a judder if you watch a 24 FPS movie at 25 FPS as it will have to double up a frame somewhere.
There was a lot of talk in the thread I posted about this, as the Samsung used to not have an option to force 24FPS mode and the PS3 never used to switch it into the right mode. This has now been fixed from the Sony PS3 side and also from the Samsung side for good measure!
My Samsung will likely be showing 24 FPS at a refresh rate of 48 (double) or 72 (treble) so you don't see a flicking image, but there's no duplication or dropping of frames.
