I remember VESA256 when you could go from 320x240x4 to 640x480 x8 and I thought "wow, this is insane". Nowadays anything under 1920x1080 makes me avoid it.
I am also shocked when people call HD (1920x1080) panels "shitty". Even though I am using a pretty hi resolution ultra ultra wide, HD still feels like the bleeding edge for me.
