The A2000 is not necessarily pretty, it is a work horse. The A600 would look good if it had an optional keypad setting on the right.
1. A1200 best looking wedge or maybe the A600.
2. A3000 best looking desktop or the A1000.
3. A4000T the best looking tower.

1280×400i, is one of the resolutions that is stated on Wikipedia.

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.  ;)

You can use 1024x768 in up to 256 colours or HAM8 - but it is interlaced at that, so a flicker fixer / Indivision comes in handy there. See below link:
