so is NTSC (Never Twice the Same Color)
only good thing about it was a 60Hz refresh rate caused (in the early days) by the fact thats the Hz rate of the US/Japanese electricity supply.
it wasn't a choice.
Color Separation is terrible, Chrominance & Luminance is all screwed up,
and (of course) the resolution is lower than that of PAL.
it was only chosen by the National Television System Committee because it was cheap (and compatible with preexisting Black + White sets)
it ain't all that.
PAL60 fills the gap (Correct Colour, size and speed)
but HD is next in line to the throne of both.
