You weren't running those CRT's on laptops though. The laptops of the time had low res displays with very narrow viewing angles.

When I look on Amazon for desktop monitors, I also see products proudly boasting that they're 'Full HD'. And what's more we seem to have stopped at Full HD - weren't most LCD monitors Full HD like ten years ago? What's going on?

If you're not seeing 4k and 5k monitors, you're not looking hard enough. They're plentiful and pretty cheap these days.

I didn't say I wasn't seeing them, though did I?

I'm saying I still see monitors with this ancient low FHD resolution. When you search for hard drives you don't see 2005-era capacities as your first result. Why do we still see 2005-era resolutions as our first result for LCDs? And some of them cost hundreds of dollars - the same price as in 2005.
