Exciting times! We discussed Viewdata on the ZX Spectrum previously, and given the QL's ULA capabilities with its 16-colour 256x256 graphics mode, I imagine it would be the case that the QL/OPD delivers the 40-column experience with a narrow font as well. I didn't really think about the QL, and the graphics system is different, but the horizontal resolution remained the same as the Spectrum in the lower resolution mode of the QL.I quickly set the OPD back up again.
Not sure what the designers were thinking with the 512x256 higher resolution mode, though. The 80-column experience would also need a narrow font, which might have been less than ideal.
