> This is all inherited from the CRT days before progressive video playback on flatscreens, and the video fps was tied to the local electrical frequency (50 Hz in Europe vs 60 Hz in USA / Japan) which is how the CRT timings were derived.
I'll have you know, there were CRTs that did progressive scan too. Early HDTVs were CRTs, before flat screen TVs got big.
Plenty of PAL CRTs can accept NTSC at 60Hz on a 50Hz supply too, of course. It's nice to tie the supply and video rates together to reduce interactions between the two rates.
