Aside from the 40 and 80 column text modes, the //c (and likewise the
enhanced //e) have low-resolution, high-resolution, and
double-high-resolution graphic modes.  In lo-res, each block is the size
of a 40-column text character.  I can't remember the exact resolutions
of hi-res and double-hi-res.  You can plug a composite monitor into the
//c instead of a green-phosphorus-type monitor.  It would give you
color, but the resolution would be the same.
