Ok,so like everyone else I want a 120hz refresh rate. Currently I am stuck on 75hz and I really want to make the switch. Unfortunately I have nowhere near 160$+ since I don't have a job. Because of this, I started looking at CRTs and found that they boast incredibly high refresh rates. This is really convenient for me since they are cheap and apparently have great motion quality. I've been looking at these CRTs and their refresh rates are insane. Almost all of them I have seen have 140hz plus refresh rates. But unfortunately I'm a little confused on something. All the monitors have two classifications: A vertical refresh rate and a horizontal refresh rate: I would like to ask you guys, What is the difference between the two refresh rates, and If I do buy one of these monitors will I be really able to use the 120,140,160 or even 180hz refresh rate?
Here are the ones I've been looking at:

Horizontal: 70hz Vertical:160hz

Horizontal: 96Hz Vertical: 160hz
Basically, I found dozens of monitors like these. BTW I don't care at all about colors or text quality and stuff like that. I am willing to compromise low resolution for a 140hz or above refresh rate. My sole concern is refresh rate. Screen size: At least above 17". Maybe you guys could suggest some CRTs that do 160hz and above, or explain if these ones I listed do. THX!!
P.S. Getting 160+ fps is not a problem since I'm only looking to play CoD games, CSS and CSGO.
