I was quoting the CBM spec sheet for the A1950 monitor.  I admit to being
confused to the quoted resolution versus the observed resolution.  The 
1280 x 400 mode looks OK on the screen.  My guess is the horizontal resolution
is actually 1600 dots with faster pixels.  The 640 x 960 resolution has the
Workbench screen kinda falling off the corners.  So maybe someone with
more technical experience with "definitions" of resolution might have a
better idea of the quoted resolution versus the actual.
