SED Display Question

Will you be able to use these at different resolutions like a CRT and with no native resolution like a LCD?

SEDs are fixed-pixel displays like an LCD, Plasma, or OLED. So yes, they still have a "native" resolution.

However, in theory you can make them with VERY high pixel densities (much higher than even a CRT's phosphor 'resolution'). Scaling quality is dependent pretty much entirely on the pixel density and the accuracy of the scaling algorithm. CRTs scale well because they have very high phosphor 'dot pitch/resolution' and they effectively do a very fine gaussian blur over the scaling (which gives results that look pretty 'smooth' to our eyes), not because of anything inherent in CRT technology.
