That's just my guess.

Black and white resolution isn't 1200x1600. That's the sub-pixel resolution. Each pixel in the 600x800 colour display consists of a group of four pixels:
RG
BW
Red, green, blue, white. If the controller is clever, it will use sub-pixel addressing for greyscale images that will make use of the higher sub-pixel resolution, rather like
Microsoft's cleartype does for LCD screens. But it will never be as good as a pure 1200x1600 greyscale screen for greyscale images.
