> 60hz monitors were practically non-existent
?? 60Hz progressive scan was fairly standard for SVGA 20 years ago; people looked for 70+Hz displays because they were bothered by the flicker (my college roommate in 2001 ran at 1024x768@75Hz rather than 1280x1024@60).
800x600@60i was the bargain-bin monitor even in the late 90s. By 2001 you could get a used 800x600@60p or 1024x768@60p monitor for nearly free if you lived anywhere that had companies upgrading to higher resolution.
