[comp.windows.x] Looking for fast, sharp color X terminal: 19"+, 1k+ x 1k+ pixels

  I'm looking for a fast, high quality color X terminal that has 1k x 1k
(or better) pixels on a 19 inch (or better) monitor.  Fuzzy monitors need
not apply; I actually want to see the pixels and use the beast for text
work as well as graphics.

  Priorities are as follows:

    1.	Number of *SHARP* pixels on the screen.  1k x 1k is minimum.

    2.	Size of the screen: 19 inches diagonally is minimum.

    3.	Speed.  If I have to wait all day for xterms to scroll, graphics
	to be redrawn, etc.  I'm not interested.

    4.	Price.  Obviously this is going to be a fairly expensive beast,
	but price will be considered when comparing roughly equivalent
	X terminals.

    5.	Number of colors (depth of display.)  8 bits per pixel are good
	enough.  More is better, but not enough to justify huge increases
	in price or fuzzier displays, etc.

Please email me your suggestions directly (casey@gauss.llnl.gov or
casey@lll-crg.llnl.gov) and I will summerize to the list.  Thanks for
your time and input!
