If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would postulate that way back in the DVD days, TV's (and players) destined for the North American NTSC market were locked out of PAL 50Hz support, so they could not take advantage of the (technically) 20% improvement in picture quality over their NTSC counterparts!

The organisations controlling the development and distribution of DVD including how their images are transported from player to display, were and still are... pretty anal!
