So then the granularity of the individual pixels increasing across each
monitor?  IF you had a 4096x4096 CCD camera and decide to project this
across a 4x4 array of 1Kx1K tubes, then each pixel would subtend one physical
CCD pixel.  If you went to an 8x8 set of tubes, then you'd have a "magnification" of 2x2 for each tube.  Right?
