   Er - cough - what did you expect?  Go and check out what
TV is!
The *top* quality available from TV has about 750 pixels horizontaly
by a varying amount verticaly, depending if you are in the UK or US
(for example).  640X480 is *good* for most TV displays - many
can't
even manage that very well.
