> The PC-9801 featured a standard resolution of 640×400, which would not be surpassed as a standard in the west until the release of VGA and Macintosh II in 1987. Small niggle: this isn't quite true. The Amiga 1000, released in 1985, supported a graphics mode at 640 x 400 (NTSC) and 640 x 512 (PAL) standard resolutions that on a standard TV would display interlaced (leading to flickering), but could be displayed without the flicker with a "flicker fixer" and a multisync monitor. The Amiga also supported overscan resolutions so these pixel counts could be exceeded on both the horizontal and vertical axes (I forget by how much though). As I say, a small niggle, but a niggle nonetheless.
