Mike,

I recently tried out my Coco 3 with an old monitor connected to the A/V 
output at 80 cols and it looked great.  But only if I used white text on a 
black background.  Which showed up as green on black on the monitor. 
Otherwise it looked horrible and was completely unreadable.

I actually took a picture of that... let me grab it and stick it on dropbox 
for you to take a look at if you want.


Okay, it's uploaded:

The actual display looks better than in the picture.   So before trying 
lower screen sizes, try setting the colors to green on black or white on 
black and see if that improves the picture.
