I assume you mean "color" CRT. The resolution of a monochrome CRT is
pretty close to infinite (at least limited by dot size, phosphor
grain size and electronics).
I worked with a color sony display that was around 2100x1590. It was a
really funny resolution that required a specific video card and the
manual told you how to trick the driver into doing it. It was the
heaviest monitor I've ever seen. I remember a faint line down the
middle that the manual said was an artifact of the manufacturing process.
The highest resolution LCD I've worked is 19-20" diagonal and has a
resolution of 3840x2400 (no kidding). For a while both IBM and
ViewSonic both sold them and they were down to 3.5k.
The pixels are so small you have to get a magnifying glass. For
drafting its a dream come true. :)
