And let's not forget weight: a 17" CRT was 20kg. They're freaking brutal to move. All that lead shielding and a huge glass tube ... The death of the CRT is mourned by very few indeed.
I got to use my dad's old 20" CRT at university in the last 90s. 36kg. Ouch. :) He had a newer 21" with much better resolution and refresh rate. -- Len Sorensen
