well, i see the the others point, but it is worth to mention, that some VDCmodes allow 8x2 color in one attribute, means that any of the 8 (or 16) color can be used freely in one character area. as a gfx guy I see this as a fantastic video mode (though the fantastic plus4palette is ot available). You Can easily convert/crop any EGA picture downloaded from the net, and it is crazy how easy to make COLORFUL software sprites in such a video mode. . c64/c128 users were not impressed as they had athe VIC HW sprite, but plus4 can manage 2 color software sprite at it's best. not to Mention that vdc can work as a second monitor output, as far as I see. 720x 480 is a stellar resolution, though I am more interested in tge colorful gfx modes (i think it is 640x200 or 640x 400)
