The reason given by Atari for the small image size is to maintain linearity
of the screen image. Several articles have been published giving instructions
on how to enlarge the image. On my screen, the very bottom line has a
definite curve, but the larger image is nice. I guess it comes down to the
choice between perfectly square pixels or less eyestrain.
