How did you draw a connection between the bus width and the screen resolution?

Although it's true that a 64-bit bus could speed up graphics operations on a
larger screen, it's untrue that 64-bits can yield no real advantage over
32-bits on standard TVs.  Resolution on the TV is limited, but not complexity
of image.  64-bit processors (if designed and used properly) can certainly
handle more complex images than 32-bit processors.
