Doesn't really make any sense to me why they'd pick that number. It isn't even a multiple of 25/50 so our European friends will have trouble with it. 600 Hz would be perfect, multiple of 24, 25, 30, 50, and 60.

It isn't like it makes the scanning time an integer amount, because it's scanning 1080 lines 1080 times a second, for 1,166,400 lines/second. Dunno.
