I just swapped my 1024x768 monitor for a 1440x900 monitor AND THE DIFFERENCE IS INSANE

I have two related monitor experiences. Going from a horrible CRT to a 19" 1280x1024 monitor and going from that to my 22" 1680x1050. I've had it for 4 years I think now, I'm thinking about a 24" 1920x1200.

when i swapped my 1680x1050 lcd with a 1280x1024 crt simply for the 100hz refresh rate.
100hz is worth sacrificing clarity and having serious glare problems.
