Have you tried 80 columns using reverse video?  Displaying black
characters on a white background makes all the difference in
readability.  I don't know if it makes a difference, but I use an
inexpensive B/W monitor (not a TV).  I've been using a modified
version of VT52B.ACT with this configuration for a couple of years and
it makes a fine 2400 baud dumb terminal.
