a colour pixel would have resolution k, but a black dot resolution 2k - every subpixel can become black. That black is useful for text, so, controlling the subpixels, in some way the resolution of text could remain double the resolution of the colour display - a 100dpi (for example) colour screen would have 200dpi text. The same would be valid for Triton.
It remains to be seen, in this regard, how nice that black defining fonts remains with neighbouring coloured dots (if, as I understand, a subpixel which is not black takes the tint of the filter).
