Perhaps.  My visual acuity seems to be better than most people's, at
least for things that are in focus.

But 1600x1200 tends to be done with a relatively high frame rate and
thus a high dot clock, and a lot of CRT monitors didn't have the
bandwidth to handle it cleanly; single-pixel-wide vertical lines tended
to be dimmer than single-pixel-wide horizontal lines as a result.  That
was one of the few things I didn't like about that 1600x1200 bwtwo.
