Or 1600x1200 when most LCDs were 1024x768.

CRTs really have gotten a bad rep, although they were great for a while still, after LCDs came on the market

and they are still great, if not better. I'd take a high-end CRT over a modern LCD any day.

I really wish there was still a market for new modern CRTs I'd have loved to have seen how that technology would've matured further

If you were gaming at 1600x1200 you either had a supercomputer, or you were gaming on a machine built after 2000.
