720x350 for the pervasive 80x25 text mode actually (a resolution which wasn’t commonly used at that time for graphics modes otherwise).

I’ve mentioned in another comment what I think may be missing for it to look right.

And I’m not really being nitpicky I think. It really evokes rather little about what this era looked like with “just” the right pixels at the right place.

With 9x16 font, shouldn't it be 720x400?

Oops, you are right, it’s 720x400. I mixed it up with the MDA 9x14 80x25 text mode.

[fsckboy]

are you referring to the IBM PC monochrome console screen? or common terminals from that time?

[anyfoo]

No, just normal VGA (and SVGA, and beyond that) monitors, up to before the first flat screens appeared.

But I made a small mistake, as another commenter pointed out: VGA text mode resolution was 720x400, not 720x350.
