From the website:
Why not a CRT? The CRT is an iconic part of the original Vectrex, but today it is impossible to produce since no suppliers for this type of screen exist anymore. Since our goal is not to create a perfect copy but an accessible, faithful and playable tribute, we looked for the best possible alternative. AMOLED turned out to be the ideal compromise to achieve a display close to the original.
While I'm glad they aren't entirely ignoring the elephant in the room, what I'm humbly suggesting is that they're wrong. It's a rather inadequate compromise, and you might as well just use RetroArch on a tablet, which could get closer to the original screen size anyway.
At least they don't pretend to have a "100% perfect replacement".
