You're right, I have tried your tests and confirm the results. On my TV (surely
on all TVs), the diagonal with alternating colors is really smooth, as if it
had been anti-aliased (I don't know if this was intended, maybe it's just 
because the pixels are very big and blurred 8-)
So, the resolution is 280 pixels, indeed. There's just proximity constraints.
Just a last question : I don't have a monitor, are the pixels so big on it ?
I mean, do we see the black pixel between two green pixels ?

Thanks for your comments, all of you behind my monitor 8-)
