Resolition ≠ size, and humans can only hear the high pitched whine with standard definition content (240p, 480i, and PAL equivilents). The higher the resolution, the higher pitched the whine, and humans can’t hear above 20kHz (which is less than 480p @ 60Hz)
Resolution is dictated by the size of the holes in the shadow mask and also by the windings of the yoke. You could theoretically have a 4k-capable CRT that’s 13" if the manufacturing tech was good enough.
My 19" Compaq S920 can do 4k interlaced at 60Hz.
CRTs also don’t have fixed pixels, so they look great at every resolution.
I think you’re more used to SD CRT TVs rather than VGA CRT computer monitors.
