The image quality may vary depending on the LCD monitor.  I just tried this
with my LCD monitor and the image is nice, but not quite as good as RGB.  My
LCD monitor's filtering softens up the image, so it's not quite as sharp as
it should be.  80 columns is perfectly readable.

The same signal fed to my TV, which has a 3d comb filter looks just about
perfect - every individual pixel is solid and sharp.
