‎Too CRT-based?: Sounds good!

Jnc: /* Too CRT-based? */ Maybe give a more generic definition, followed by the CRT origin?

Larsbrinkhoff: Relaxing the description?

Relaxing the description?

New page

The description seems, to me, overly focused on electron beams: "horizontal lines", "scanning across the screen", etc. I would consider raster displays also many other technologies like LCD, plasma, ePaper, etc that arrange pixels in a regular grid. (I might even include honeycomb tiling if there were such things.)

	: Well, the dictionary does say "''a rectangular pattern of parallel scanning lines followed by the electron beam''". ;-) I can re-cast it to say something like 'a rectangular array of lines of output on a display', and go on to say that it ''originated'' on CRT displays, which operated in this manner?
