Good google :) but SVGA is Super-VGA and only 800 x 720 !
CGA: 640 X 200 (8*8 font, 80chars * 25 lines)
DCGA: 640 X 400 (8*16 font, 80chars * 25 lines)
VGA: 640 x 480
SVGA: 800 x 720
XGA: 1024 x 768
SXGA 1280 x1024
UXGA: 1600 x1440
In old days, it was not multi-sync monitor. No wonder you can only get
SVGA only.

Maybe cheap LCD XGA (15 inch which is as big as 17 inch CRT),
they are getting sub $300
