- Look at a tv picture, after all thats how the screen is made up, of tiny
- pixels of rgb.
- How exactly is a HAM screen generated, i.e. what's the largest screen width?
- I only ask because I gather that you can change 1 colour at a time, in effect
- you have overlaping RGB planes each 3pixels wide. You could then say that a
- 1280 pixel wide HAM8 screen is equivalent to a 427 pixel wide 24 bit chunky
- display. If you need a more accurate representation of a picture, leave the
- green image alone and adjust the red and blue images to suit.
