Most people use 60Hz monitors, which means you'll always get uneven frame-timing with 24fps content (3:2 pulldown). Modern TVs support 24Hz for 24fps Blurays so the motion looks better.

Uneven frame-timing, fo sure, but does it really use 3:2 pulldown?

IIRC the monitor, at least when using most of players on PC to playback, will just display/repeat each video frame uneven times, but no 3:2 pulldown, i.e. interlacing two frames together to generate 1 more frame every 4 frames, is involved.

I'm definitely not an expert on this topic though so please feel free to correct me!

It does not use interlacing. It seems my understanding of the term was wrong, and interlacing is required for it to count as real 3:2 pulldown.
