Excellent point! Yes folks please check out the price of monitors before
you say "gee why can't it do 1K x 1K?". With the onslaught of workstations
the price of bare (no case, no power supply, just the tube electronics) 
monochrome 1K x 1K monitors has come down to under $1000 in OEM quantities
color ones are still in the clouds. Something realistic to desire would be
something one of these multiscan type monitors can display (800 X 600) and
keep the monitor price around $750 list.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
