The reality is that controller boards which can handle color resolution
of 1024x1024 or thereabouts are now going for around $1600 rock bottom, and
anything which could handle the monitor mentioned in the Byte article
would probably also be in that ballpark.  Give it another 8-9 months or
so and cheap controller boards based on the TI 31040 chip should be avail-
able in quantity.  Resolutions should go slightly beyond 1024 squared.
