experiences with portable LCD TVs for classic micros?

TV has a max resolution of about 640 / 8 = 80 characters per line. There are extra factors... pulling the resolution down: sending the signal through RF and not a true video "monitor" jack will cause the loss of maybe 1/2 of total resolution. LCD's because they are small typically don't have all the pixels there anyway. 640 x 480 = 307,200 pixels. Cheap small LCD's might use 120,000 pixels. screens are typically "overscan", meaning the edges are clipped off and lost. Computers meant for home use were built for this and compensate. pushing the resolution up: your eyes and the screen work with analog information. Your brain can add some perception through signal loss, given a context. For example G00D can be percieved as GOOD, even though technically it's wrong. $20? Jeepers, no big loss. Try one and see for yourself. Bottomline I think 32 characters per line is pretty easy to get through. John A.
