But that 1600x1200@75hz is awful by today's standards. I'm typing this on a 120Hz 4K monitor, and my other monitor is a 240hz 4k monitor.

I'm not saying they are better because the numbers are bigger, either. The subjective feel of using the screens is much improved, plus just about everything surrounding it (the menus, the colors & calibration, the interfaces).

And the comparison to the LCD at the time is irrelevant -- I was making the comparison between modern high-DPI LCD and OLED monitors and CRTs.

I replaced it less than decade ago; I'm still using the LCD that replaced it now, so it's not like I'm comparing it to a '00s LCD panel.

I would not be surprised if OLEDs are better; I've never seen an OLED panel in person.

Panel quality matters.

I'd take my HP EliteDisplay 1440P monitor over any of these ultra high refresh rate monitors, all day, every day.

Dell & HPs "Business" monitors are made to be stared at all day, and I can use them all day without any eye fatigue. They also come calibrated from the factory.

Interestingly, my old Asus 24" monitor is very close to them, but that monitor is also designed to be used for longer hours (better panel, blue light filter, flicker free backlighting, etc.).
