If I've remembered the numerology correctly, the 5620 is the brain-damaged
commercialized Blit.  This means that you are screwed.  High-resolution
bitmap terminals produce high-speed video that needs a special monitor;
the signal is much too fast for a garden-variety video monitor.  I don't
mean that you won't get full resolution -- I mean that the ordinary monitor
won't be able to make any sense of the signal at all.

The biggest high-resolution monitors I'm aware of are 19-inchers, which
probably don't meet your definition of "BIG".
