8  1/2 X 11 Screens

Does anybody know of a terminal available with a screen the size of a 
sheet of paper?  At least 80 chars of 66 lines?  I have seen them
advertized as bit mapped terms with graphics etc. attached to various
systems but have not seen one offered as a peripheral for sale without
buying the system.  Is there any reason that the 24 or 25 line standard
is holding on so strongly? (CRT raster scan limitations, Slow RAM, too
many bytes after adding visual attributes)  Seems that LSI should be
breaking old, strange standards.
