I think the 200LX (higher end) had 80x25 as an option...and CGA 
graphics, again if memory serves.

My 95LX has 40x8, but a built in driver which produces a "virtual"
screen size of 80x25 to which the LCD is just a "window."

We had razor sharp 40/80x25 text displays in 1981 ... Hercules Graphics
was doing graphics on the same mono monitors appx 1 year later.  Both
are very good mono standards...and are probably supported by Linux,
and maybe even Windows.  A scanning type display (Private Eye) could 
display this type of thing effortlessly...but noone seems to produce mono

displays for these standards, anymore.

I wonder what a truly "mono" display (rather than QVGA) would end 
up costing?
