Very little. Cost is a factor of the quality of the gun assembly, and the
resolution. It gets more difficult to coat with higher res phosphor spots
evenly without any flaws. If you want a flatter squarer screen, the
correction circuits get more complex (=expensive) too.
Leastways that's how it was when I was a TV tech.
