I’d believe it. It’s my understanding that a current iPhone app icon is almost the same resolution as the first Macintosh screen. Crazy times! Have to remember that the old CRT screens took pixelated images and gave the a smooth glowing look.

Well, I thought the logos were sort of splash screens meant to be displayed full-screen. Perhaps the very first Mac did, but I can't believe a Sun workstation would have a 100-pixels display.

Good CRTs indeed make everything look amazing though. E.g. a 240p video can look beautiful on a 19-inch Trinitron.
