Be careful. The "native" resolution of the vt340 is 800x480 in 4:3 format ...
800x480 isn't 4:3 aspect, like VGA 640x480 / SVGA 800x600 / XGA (?) 1024x768. But I suppose the aspect ratio can be the area that the pixels cover, not the actual pixel matrix.
Your point is noted. Though I don't know if an improper resolution would make that much difference to me in my use case. But I'm not chasing an authentic experience. Rather I am after something neat / nifty / quaint, much like the PiCade is not a real arcade cabinet.
So I would use an 15" 4K display at the RBpi, and scale up...
I personally dislike all the 4k monitors that I've seen. I'd be more likely to go old school.
Imagine a Tekronox Emulation on a 4K display ;-)

I would love to see REAL RS232 on a RBPi, probably even the original MMJ from DEC for keyboard & mouse
What is a /real/ RS-232? How does it differ from USB-to-RS-232 and / or bit banging GPIO lines?
