Sometimes I really like CRT monitors.
I have a 17" Dell M780 monitor connected to my Mac. Not a horrible monitor, but it sure isn't an UltraScan. Its, quote, maximum addressable resolution, unquote, is 1600x1200 at 60hz. Right now I have it set to 1792x1344 at 60hz and everything is very clear and readable.
Similarly, the secondary monitor on my PC is a 17" Dell P793. It has a crystal-clear DiamondTron display, could no doubt kill a man if you were to drop it on his head, and has quite possibly the richest color I've ever seen from a VGA monitor. Oh, that thing can also very easily display 1920x1080. Not bad for a small monitor that predates 1080p as a common resolution.
Sometimes analog is better. CRTs don't give a shit about pixels. They don't have no stinkin' native resolution. You just set the timings and, as long as they're within the bounds, it'll happily draw things as sharply as it can, and as long as your display isn't a piece of shit, it'll be crystal clear. LCDs will never, ever have that awesome trait. Playing a game that can't run at your native resolution? Welcome to blur-o-vision, sucka.
On the other hand, at least 26" 1080p LCD monitors don't weigh in excess of 100 pounds. My P793 weighs about 40 pounds. A good 21" CRT weighs in at 70-80 pounds. My 26" LCD weighs 30 pounds. Yay?
