They really were. I had a 21" Dell Trinitron "flatscreen" monitor as my last CRT. It took a LOT of jiggling to get that beast into my car. Corner desk was so good for just eating up the depth.
Great monitor though in fairness. Very kind on the eyes compared to other ones I'd previously used. You kinda forget how harsh monitors used to be on your eyes in those days.
Yep I know what you mean, I had an iiyama 21" crt and that beast was massive. I also preferred it over most first and second generation flat screens (especially tft before lcd got more affordable), those were generally too bright, and got really blurry when you tried to dim anything.
Yeah, those early TFT's were bloody awful. Apart from the size benefit, I really didn't understand why people were rushing to switch to them. Movement in games felt really janky and God forbid your graphics card wasn't powerful enough to run a game at their native resolution.
Oh, I still have good and bad memories of my old Sony G520 monitors. Great image quality, bad for my back to carry it up the stairs after a LAN party.
