I had a nice old viewsonic 22" 1600x1200 CRT sitting in my parents' garage that my dad threw out eventually. I remember overdriving it to 1856x1392 when Compiz came out for the first time, it was glorious. It even blew some caps once but we repaired it. People made fun of me for years lugging that thing to LAN parties but they were always jealous.

Now I'm lucky if I can find 1280 on a dumpstered LCD. I when i buy devices (I don't buy devices) i shop based purely on the display. There wasn't an android with decent rez until the nexus seven 2013 and was still only 1920x1200.

Closest thing I have to a desktop these days:
