I once asked Zenith at a trade show about this and they whined that
super VGA standards didn't exist. Considering that Zenith sold off
their computer stuff to fund HDTV and that FTM technology is one
of the key parts of their HDTV strategy, I wouldn't hold my breath.

In a recent Aviation Week there was a description of a Tektronix
display. A (white) monochrome monitor provided high resolution
color displays by using LCD shutters and filters. The claim was
the filters could be made cheaply and the lack of shadow mask
should be very promising for large inexpensive high resolution
displays.

If more freeways causes more freeway usage, why doesn't more
transit cause more transit usage?
