You are misunderstanding how color CRTs function. See dot pitch. Using a resolution that is incorrect for your display has functionally the same result of blurriness and interference patterns on color CRTs and LCDs. The difference is that on a color CRT the effect is a product of the physical structure of the display, and not a digital scaler. You cannot use arbitrary resolutions on color CRTs as you claim.
I didn’t say you could use arbitrary resolutions, I said you could change the resolution. I think it is you who is misunderstanding. CRT’s don’t scale, they change the number of pixels they show. If you show an 800 x 600 image on a CRT monitor, it will have 800 x 600 pixels. If you show an 800 x 600 image on an LCD, it will still have however many pixels the LCD has.
