Couldn't we, in essence, take the RGB port of our beloved Amigas and create a new display this way?  

Like a large LED filled wall to use the Amiga on?  I'm assuming it'd only be good for games / demos.  Desktop usage would stink, obviously.  Scanlines would be the norm here!  Seems the project that bloodline linked uses the serial port for outputting the video, whereas the RGB output would just be straight RGB signals.  Basically it'd work just like a monitor.  

Just thinking out loud here.
