    That is only its maximum resolution when used with an Apple IIgs.
It has an interlaced mode which allows you to display 640x400, though
it isn't going to be easy to look at for long periods of time. You
can see the interlaced mode if you have a VOC or Second Sight card.

    The viewable area on an Apple IIgs is probably a fair bit less,
when you take into account all the space reserved by the border in
all display modes. That probably makes it about 10" viewable or so.
If you hook up another video source (e.g. a SuperNintendo) then you
can use the entire 11.5", including what would be the border area.
