That's an interesting thought, but the tricolor dot or line pattern in most color CRTs does not limit the NTSC resolution significantly. The exceptions are the GE Portacolor sets (and a few other small screen sets), which used a pattern that was coarse for the size of the tube. CRT projos, on the other hand, are limited by the spot size of the CRTs and the optical aberrations of the lenses.
