I suspect you'd have trouble with ghost lines because the cheapo glasses
won't filter out the other color completely. The edge detectors in the eyes
are extremely sensitive and thats all you get with vectors. BTW, I'm still
convinced that part of the "look" of vector displays is due to heavy
activation of the edge detectors in the eye with no colored-in surfaces which
is very unusual to see.
