Had this reflection that 144hz screens where the only type of screen I knew, that was not a multiple of 60. 60 Hz - 120hz - 240hz - 360hz
And in the middle 144hz Is there a reason why all follow this 60 rule, and if so, why is 144hz here

75hz here. I thought it was pretty weird. It's basically extra spicy 60hz.
75hz was because of CRT monitors. This very old Tom's hardware article goes into the math behind the reasoning
