My current CRT monitor was made in 1997 and is 1600x1200@70Hz. They existed, but were expensive. FYI, due to CRT blanking times, the dot-clock for my VGA monitor is actually slightly higher than what single-channel DVI can manage. I had to use a graphics card with a VGA port until good DP/VGA adapters became available in the past few years.
