So the screens get larger and larger...

Anyone think it likely that, come January, there will be a 20" CRT eMac, which can support resolutions up to 1600x1200 at 85MHz minimum? Or am I just dreaming?

probably dreaming ... I think the price bump (20" crts are not nealy as dirt cheap as 17s) would put it at a weird price point. Plus, the eMac is already 50lbs, I can't imagine what a 20" emac would weigh ()

It would probably be a 19" CRT anyway, but the eMac is aimed to be of much lesser price of the iMac so I'm sure they will stick to the flat 17" CRT's for now and continue lowering the price.

The CRTs are already poor quality, I can't imagine that any larger.

I don't think they will - the machine is already bulky. Big LCDs are cool, but big CRTs are not. Apple likes cool.
