Even HiDef only goes up to 1920, and displays that actually have 1920 pixels are rare and expensive, even today. 1000 lines meaning 500 line pairs would be significantly more believable, and would match ED Beta, which was speced at 500. > In my experience, s-video + comb filter is STILL awful. > Hypothetically, this does a MUCH better job of isolating the chroma > from luma.

Many CRTs, even some fixed frequency monitors with good names on the bezel, have trouble focusing the beam.

An LCD with a suitable native resolution and driven with a digital signal had jolly well better not do this. But LCDs have other problems.
