RE: "Seventh grade geometry wasnt your specialty eh? "

I know that talking about pixel size and monitor size in the same
discussion can be mildly confusing to follow but my point was that my
monitor was "the biggest". The concept I am promoting is not only that it
is 24" but that it has over for times as many pixels at a perfect square
aspect ratio than a 640*480 grid on the more common 35 inch Mitsubishis.

RE "10 foot diagonal screen"
That is not a glass tube....a "monitor"

RE: "The first was the 2048x2048 monitor"

I would like to know its shadow mask size. evidentally it is much finer
than the tension mask allows on the CPD1302 (a 0.25 mm * 0.4(est.)mm) rect.
It is conceivable that you are right, and that at least one pel exists for
each pixel the system wishes to display, but I am skeptical. The only
factor that lends credibility is the fact that it was Sony and that it was
$40,000.00.

Driving a 2048*2048 display at 60 Hz, non-interlaced, with 8 bits of "data"
for driving each of the three guns sure does add up to a hell of a lot of
bandwidth.

Sadly, many of the large monitors, especially those for nearly static
displays, have a very long persistence and a slow refresh rate and are
unsuitable for even using a mouse indicator. I hope this 2048*2048 20inch
by 20inch tube does not suffer from that.
