Going through a modulator or direct video input? With direct video,
an NTSC TV can probably do 80x24. Of course, you don't get ginormous
dots-per-character (7x7 is pretty typical), but you can do it. Why
should this be any different from the NTSC-scan-frequency IBM CGA
monitor?
My first video monitor was a Zenith B&W portable (tube) hot-chassis
TV that I won in a raffle and fed directly into the video amp from my
SWTP TVT II modified to give 64x16. It looked fine, even if it was
foolish on my part.
