People with pixelphilia ( lov of pixels ), such as myself ( you
can never get too many pixels on a screen ) should temper their
lust with the realization that the eye can only resolve to a certain
small angle, and that pixels smaller than this are of little
practical benefit execpt in certain rarefied extremes like X-Ray
vieing systems that require 2K on a side (gray scale) at a minimum,
and that this means making good use of lots of pixerls requires
a larger monitor and these cost money, especially for color.

For Example : IMHO 1K by 768 is wasted on anything less than a
20" monitor like the Mitsubishi Diamond Scan I view as a write
this missive. Said monitor costs $2000.

Monochrome monitors are of course much cheaper.

So before you DEMAND tons-of-pixels at a pounds-of-pixels price
( only Amiga ! ), temper your demands with the realization of
what you'll need to effectively utilize such a copious bounty.

And remember, Commodore is not primarily a monitor manufacture,
nor a major player in that business. Infer what you will ...
