I still find that an unsatisfying answer.  There is plenty of room for
a larger screen with the same aspect ratio.  What is REALLY needed is a screen
that is big enough to be useful, say 19-20 inches, with 1280 x 1024 resolution.
Then perhaps you could use the ST as a low-cost X terminal.

Is there a SCSI monitor?  Is that a dumb question?

my $.02

p.s. 'course, by then you're paying more for the monitor than the computer,
but so what?
