The 600E has a 1024x768 screen. But yes, you are correct. I made a mistake.
The subpixels are arranged horizontally not vertically, giving:

rgb rgb rgb rgb rgb rgb rgb rgb -> one row of pixels
rgb rgb rgb rgb rgb rgb rgb rgb
rgb rgb rgb rgb rgb rgb rgb rgb 

---
one pixel

I deeply apologize for the confusion. It arose because I thought the problem 
was a solitary pixel in the top left and bottom right corners. Apparently 
it's the entire column, which therefore requires the situation above. With 
the green subpixels turned off, the first column is pure red and the last 
column is pure blue. It no longer matters what the resolution is since every 
pixel is red/green/blue.
