    That, and monitor/TV size increased a lot at the time when flat panels became a thing, so you need a higher resolution just to achieve the same pixel density you already had on a smaller screen.

      Well also the change to pixel based screens from CRTs meant that you needed higher resolution for the picture to look comparitively good.
