From watching Digital Foundry's video, they say that due to a difference in how the display works a much lower resolution CRT is comparable or better in picture quality to a higher resolution LCD.

They specifically talked about being able to get a lot better performance out of games without any noticable decrease in picture quality by dropping resolution.

So acceptable resolution may be a lot lower than you think.
