It's very photogenic.  Alongside the A500 and A3000.  The others, not so much,  IMHO.  ;)

1280×400i, is one of the resolutions that is stated on Wikipedia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_1200
How does one make good use of such a resolution?
Would one use a  monitor of the same aspect ratio?

Super hires laced.  AFAIR it was good for video titling (less jagged edges on screen fonts), and a few productivity apps.  Also looks pretty slick the time or two I tried it on a modern, widescreen monitor (something that didn't exist in 1990, LOL).  Otherwise things look tall and skinny on a 4:3 screen.  ;)
