No, I mean insanely high quality colour CRTs with out of this world dpi. The
kind where you cannot discern individual triads at normal viewing distance.
Not quite medical quality (I'm not that crazy) but close.

thing out there. Most of those colour things are like that. But the opposite
does exist.
