Back when BBN still made them, BitGraph's were pretty nice terminals.
They had 3/4 M pixels (portrait) and a 68000 that could have small
programs downloaded to run in them.  Of course, the resolution wasn't
as nice as it could be.

Ann Arbor Ambassadors, however, are the nicest I've ever seen.  They
support all the capabilities I think a good terminal should have, you
can change the size and aspect of the display, you can have a lot more than
the loss-oriented 80x24 standard (assuming your OS isn't too losing),
and the display is a nice soft green.  What more could you ask for?
