I have been using a Sony GDM-F400 19" Trinitron at 1600x1200 for the past year and am extremely pleased with it. The image is very sharp with high contrast/color saturation and even the smallest text is very readable. I just did a test and can easily read 5 pt. text at 1600x1200. It has dramatically better picture quality than any other CRT that I have used before.
This is one of the high end "F" series of Sony monitors with .22mm dot pitch and dynamic focus. There is a 21" GDM-F520: http://www.sonystyle.com/vaio/displays/gdm_f520.shtml and a 24" GDM-FW900: http://www.sonystyle.com/vaio/displays/gdm_fw900.shtml that are in the same series but I have not seen them in person.
