Thanks Chip, much appreciated. Back in the 70's Phillips marketed a projector colour TV with a built in screen. To show how fine the picture was their magazine advertising had a close up of a tennis ball hitting the ground at a premier tournament. Not only was this way beyond the resolution of the set, like as not it was beyond the resolution of the cameras.
