My first job in IT 20-some years ago began swapping their CRTs for LCDs and I got to take home a Dell rebadge of a 19” Trinitron. It did 1600x1200 at 75hz. It had a fantastic picture for gaming. I can't for the life of me remember what happened to it.

I had one like that. It gave up its magic smoke a short time after I discovered you could enter custom horizontal timings in Linux for higher-than-standard resolutions
