The 1986 retina screen: the WY-700 video card/screen gave the PC a 1280×800 resolution, and a text-mode of 160 columns by 50 lines. It had a built-in 16×16 font (download), and you could even use your own custom fonts. The high-res modes only supported greyscale, but who needs colours anyway?

Prince, Channel Four Oracle teletext, 26th February 1986. Before he was known as the Artist Formely Known As… presumably. This could all be another teletext abbreviation policy, I dunno.
