Re: A daft question continued....

It probably would be better to create a conversion deflection board for an
existing raster monitor that is commonly available.

Remember, to implement the idea using a PC would cost a thousand or so more
than a hardware based solution. Having a hardware conversion would also allow
people a decision when it came time to replace a dead monitor in a vector game.
You could search for a working identical replacement, or buy a new (or used)
common monitor and a hardware conversion for it.
