It always irks me that everyone seem to have completely forgotten that CRT monitors were routinely used in 75 Hz and 85 Hz (and even higher rates) and with various resolutions instead of the one and only 60 Hz in native resolution as with most LCD monitors. 60 Hz meant “I can't configure Windows” or “my video card or monitor can't handle more than that with resolution that high”.

Looking at a CRT monitor side by side with a LCD one was quite revealing - even a last generation 2005 CRT monitor with digital controls and OSD was a blurry mess. If you want both fast refresh rates and pixel accuracy, well, you kind of need today's technology. Not possible back then.
