What?! Was I so privileged to have a 720p CRT at the time? (ok well not literally 720p, but a higher resolution 4:3... 800x600)

... actually remembering it, it was probably well after 1998, but I have plenty of memories going, "mmmm, 800x600". maybe even more at 1024x768.

I only really started to understand what it all meant and how neat better resolution was with Unreal Tournament, so... definitely post 1999

800x600 is 600p. 720p is 1280x720

In my defense it was 720i for a good while for tv signals ;P Also different aspect ratios than a lot of even excellent CRTs.
