120 can be problematic for a full HD screen in portrait mode.  Nine
pixels per character is not a lot (it's what VGA used), and you can't
have any window decoration.  With a good font and screen, it's doable.
But if the screen isn't quite sharp, then I think you wouldn't be able
to use portrait mode anymore.
