> just because it has incomparably sharper image and no issues with refresh flickering. You probably had an extremely bad CRT, but got a very good LCD monitor. Typically, the situation would've been the exact opposite of yours. Early LCDs were incapable of supporting high refresh rates of high-end CRTs (that's why for a long time people in e-sports were using CRTs). Also, the physical "pixels" of best LCD monitors were still bigger than those of CRTs. This is what eventually resulted in OTF fonts adoption with a lot of trickery in sub-pixel interpolation... which sucked a lot when it just started, and still sucks, but not as much.
