My old 1280x1024 CRT died a week ago so I had to get a new monitor on short
notice.
I went to Frys. I don't remember seeing any CRTs, but I wasn't looking for
them.
They had ~30 LCDs on display. The ones I was interested in were mostly 23
inch 1920x1080. That seemed to be a sweet spot. (I think the smaller ones
were sprinkled around next to PCs. I didn't look much at them. I could
easily have missed another sweet spot.)
The 1080 comes from HDTV so I expect 1920x1080 will continue to be a sweet
spot.
