The Timex 2068 had a new ULA, with a really fantastic 512x192 monochrome resolution, almost perfect on a normal TV for GUIs, and still did not require very special monitor or special output connector.
The Timex 256x192 resolution had a very special color attribute mode too (almost HIRES FLI  ), in each line you could have a new attribute byte, so in each character place you could have 8 ink and 8 background color, and that is also a fantastic idea, but required 192 x 32 byte (6K) color memory. With even those limited colors (8 bright and 8 dark versions) you can get fantastic colorful results. maybe can link later.
