Yeah, the FAA is putting Sun Ultra 5's in the towers and using flat panel
1280x1024 displays upstairs. Downstairs they are using 2048x2048 Sony
2801's (357.181 MHz pix clock... 28" diagonal I think). Those behemoths
would make a kick ass base to start a vector monitor project with :-)

Raytheon is doing the system integration using.... Tech-Source cards </end
