PAL is 625 lines as opposed to NTSC's 525 lines, so PAL is noticably
sharper, but the 25 fps frame rate results in noticable, and some
would say objectionable flicker. Still, Ol' NTSC is pretty good for
early-50s technology, and except for the phase change of the color
subcarrier every other line (Phase Alternate Line == PAL) to reduce
color ghosting, PAL *is* NTSC!
