[OTZ80] [Poll] What do you want the screen resolution to be?

As the title says: What do you want the screen resolution to be?

Consider the CPU speed, the cost of the screen, and the use of the resolution.
Especially consider the cost - you don't want the screen costing a half or a third of the total cost!

Note that the screen will be grayscale, and that the size should be similar (maybe 1/4-1/2 cm off) to the TI-83/84 screen size.

Builderboy:
I put 240x160.  Not huge, but its a very reasonable resolution for a calculator.  Also cuts cost

DJ Omnimaga:
1920x1080.

just kidding :P

I think for the OTZ80 calc, 240x160 seems fine. Not too big and not too small.

matthias1992:
240x160 seems fine great to me!

if it get's too expensive (which I am not sure about) then we might go one step lower but I think we Definetely want more then good ol' 96x64

fb39ca4:
I voted 192x128-it'll be good enough for a calc, cost less than the others, and make our lives easier when writing a compatibility layer for 8x programs. (multiple of 96x64)
Also, I think the screens themselves aren't grayscale, just the lcd driver does the same thing we do with calc grayscale, though a lot more efficiently.
