Thomson
The most known display modes from Thomson computers (very popular in France) are 320×200, with 8×1 attribute cells with 2 colours. The TO7 can only display the 8 "saturated" colors. The TO7/70 and MO5 have the 16 color palette shown below as a fixed palette (just like on C64 or MSX1). On later models, these 16 colours can be chosen from 4096 and other video modes are available, removing the block constraints but reducing either the color count or the horizontal resolution.

Famous quotes containing the word thomson:
“High from the summit of a craggy cliff,
Hung o’er the deep, such as amazing frowns
On utmost Kilda’s shore, whose lonely race
Resign the setting sun to Indian worlds,
The royal eagle draws his vigorous young”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)
“But who can paint
Like Nature? Can imagination boast
Amid its gay creation, hues like hers?”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)
“To sunny waters some
By fatal instinct fly; where on the pool
They sportive wheel, or, sailing down the stream,
Are snatched immediate by the quick-eyed trout
Or darting salmon.”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)
