I can't remember the CRT displays I had(they were small though), but I can recall the LCDs.
First one came with my Dell Dimension, 15" at 1024x768. It flatlined last year, so or a while I had to use my TV as a monitor, set at 1366x768.
Now I have a single Acer 20", at 1600x900. I look forward to a bigger display at some point, but for now this one's excellent.
