You could also "overclock" them to run at higher refresh rates (frame rates, hz) depending on the resolution. The top CRT's were blowing away LCD's for many, many years. Good color, higher refresh, good dynamic range, etc etc. Those 21" CRT's were massive but I held onto my second hand one for as long as I could. I remember getting the VGA adapter for the Dreamcast and it looked damn good on that CRT!

Driving CRTs at bad frequencies was a common way of letting all the magic smoke out, back in the day.

  Throwing them in a trash bin and then smashing them with a sledge hammer was also a good way to do that and a bit louder :-D

  This is a myth, true only to some very early(as in 87-89) VGA fixed frequency monitors.
