Yeah, same here. I had three 21" trinitrons with a max res of 2046 × 1536. I did finally move to LCD monitors when I was able to get something close (1920x1200), but I still miss those things. Except for the massive weight, space, power draw, and heat they put out of course.

Oh man, I'm jealous. I only had two 19" monitors, and they didn't match. I've still got them stored in the basement for eventual use in a retro game cabinet or something, but I'm kicking myself for not swapping them out for Trinitrons when everybody was throwing them out.

I got mine from a guy that had pallets of them and was selling them for cheap because he got them from an action. I definitely lucked out.
