Currently we can only have monitors that are 8 block wide and 6 block high, if we try to make bigger ones, just another monitor is created. Can we get ability to build as big monitors as we want?

Nah. It was limited to prevent network lag on SMP. What could you possibly be doing which requires a monitor bigger than that?

A large billboard 6 stories up.

Also, I noticed monitor images tend to tear or disappear completely past about 50 blocks distant.

How about projectors?

What would be the difference?

If network lag is the concern, how about the ability to have larger screens, but they just scale (instead of expanding the usable screen real estate as they do now)? And fixing the tear or x-fighting or whatever it is would be awesome too if you could.
