I still have a couple of old IPS monitors with fluorescent backlights. Colors look better on them than most monitors I've seen

I know what you mean, I'm not a big fan of overly saturated displays. And the refresh rate thing is funny. The first time when I saw "Introducing 144hz" I had a giggle my CRT monitor did that already when I was a kid.

I wouldn't be surprised. There was even a 3840×2400 monitor in the early 2000s. I wanted one so bad but it cost as much as a car.

That’s crazy. You’d have to use SLI or crossfire to run something that high res back then lol.
