So unless you’re going for an extremely high resolution on a really cheap monitor over a long distance
Speaking of “extremely high resolution on a really cheap monitor,” it took a solid decade and a half before I was able to buy a digital flat-panel monitor capable of resolution comparable to the analog CRT I was using in 2002. VGA was no joke!
(The only problem with QXGA on a 19" CRT, aside from the weight and power draw, was that in a world before decent high-DPI fractional scaling the text was too tiny to read easily. Other than that, it worked fine.)

I have a flat panel from the early 2000s with a resolution of 1600x1200. I use it for old consoles because it also has an s-video input.
The last part reminded me of a night my friends and I played Dead Rising on a CRT. Couldn’t read any text so we were just guessing what to do
