Analog film has a limited colour space too. And even if you did manage to take a perfect picture, you'd still need a monitor capable of displaying it.

Taiwan, actually.

Yep, they were designed to display high-res text (720x350) over limited bandwidth, and 50Hz with slow phosphors made this possible.

>does it means that even interlaced modes aren't flickery?
I suppose so, but I've never seen interlaced on a 5151. From what I've heard, they were rather notorious for going up in flames when fed incompatible scan rates.
That said, I do have an MDA clone card that can supposedly display 720x700 interlaced on a 5151, but I've never been able to get it to work.
