Me too. Atari, toward the end, had even mastered color vector displays that look excellent!
Look for clips of "Star Wars" in action.
The 70's was anni interesting time. Atari was employing dynamic vector displays capable of real time motion.
Tektronix was using vectors with their storage CRT tech. Basically the vectors got painted onto the tube phosphors, thus displaying the image without the need to refresh.
4k resolution (vector coordinate space) ended up being a thing!
