It's 1280x960.

Atari's TTM194 is the 1280x960 monitor.  There are quite a few other
vendors which use the exact same monitor, including case design.  I saw
a picture of a Sparc station, I think it was, with an 'Atari TTM194.'

Atari also sells a multisync for the TT to handle all the other resolutions
(5 of them, 3 ST and 2 TT).  It's called the PTC-something-or-other.

Several Atari developers, including Gadgets by Small and DoubleClick, use
Panasonic C1381s with their TTs.
