If you load the memory at $400 with $41 then the video circuit displays
the 'A' character if it is in text mode.  If it is in low resolution
graphics mode, then the video circuit builds a red block over a green
block.  If it is in High Resolution, the video circuit reads other
memory locations and displays dots based on the bit pattern.

If you want to load 'A' character before store it in $400, it will appear in the first column and first row.  How can video ROM read $400 before prints bitmaps into screen?  I am curious.
