       4K is cool, but how about fully vector display?could a CRT with a very finely focused beam work that way ...

       @piggo that doesn't really make much sense, you'll have to rasterize in some way while projecting the picture anyway

       @piggo not only could that work, it's how the vectrex wrked

       @pony that's not really true, the point of vector display is you dont project pixels but lines. but i dont know how it would display filled areas, probably poorly

       @piggo did they ever make a color vector display?

       @piggo yeah but isn't the deflection of the beam basically a rasterisation?

       @pony @piggo not you control it through analog signals, also even when using a DAC you can probably put thr DAC output through a low-pass filter to smooth it out, getting real diagonals instead of a staircase

       @wolf480pl @piggo i guess you could argue an oscilloscope screen is kinda vectorish then?

       @pony @wolf480pl yes oldschool analog oscilloscopes definitely use vector display

       @pony @wolf480pl not really what i had in mind, but that's basically the base of the technology

       @piggo “light plotter” - maybe I should now invent it… 🤔

       @cpsdqs@icosahedron.website @piggo@piggo.space There's lazer vector projectors, and you can do those multi-colored very easily.
