I'll go along with this entirely - took my Libretto (110) "shopping" and
plugged it into several external TFT VDUs - it was impossible to choose
between 800x600 24 bit ("fuzzy" because I could not find any 800x600 pixel
VDUs, everything was 1024x768 or higher) or 1024x768 16 bit (fixed the
"fuzziness", but simply not enough colours!).
