Correct me if I am wrong, but is there any need to go past 100 dots / inch?
Last time I browsed the literature, the claim was 24bits of color and
100 dots / inch.  (sorry no bibliography).

I have seen multi color flat screens, it could have been a plasma instead
of an LCD.  You can make color LCD.  LCD technology can not currently
be designed with low persistance comparable to most color monitors.  If
you are shooting still frames, I guess this would not be so bad.  You would
definitely get the blurs on real time animation.
