No problem generating it (well, maybe no problem) but displaying it is quite another matter. Building a monitor that can swing the beam fast enough to do 1000 lines/frame is a trick only a few vendors have managed. 300 lines/inch resolution will require 3000 lines/frame. Ouch. In addition, the beam is going to have to be modulated at about 250 MHz. The only way to do this will be to up voltages/currents in the amp circuit and increase the anode voltage- don't sit in front of this tube if you ever want to procreate." One answer seems to me to have multiple guns on one tube. Why not divide the screen into nine squares and drive one high-res gun for each? I realize adjusting all the edge convergences could be a slight problem, but I don't see why it shouldn't be within the state of the art. --Bruce
