I was just wondering what the best CRT today. Under £200 as well. Maybe just over.
 
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say....any one that is still working properly, of the 21" flat professional brands that is. Or if you were extremely lucky and found a 24" Sony Widescreen in A grade condition.
 
Yeah, the 24" Sony FW900 is the best, but you've got to be very lucky to get a good one at this point. I agree that any 21" or 22" Trinitron/Diamondtron that is in great condition would be your best bet.
 
The sony FW900 can display 16:9 1080p material from a Blu-Ray player on my PC, can't it? Also, how good is the GDM W900 variant and any information on it? Is the lacie 24 inch sony better or equal to it?
 
the FW900 is the best crt out there, if you can get a hold of one.

as for the blu-ray 1080p, not sure.
if blu-ray has anything to do with hdmi, then no the monitor is not an hdmi monitor.

the next best would probably be any of the 21" sony trinitron monitors.
i dont believe LaCie makes 24" crt's, btw, unless you have a link.

I mean can it display 1080p from say, a HD tuner card, a HD camcorder or even downloadable content (or from any HD source material you can find), not just Blu-Ray?

that i dont know, i've never tried it. i did hear one forumite say that he was watching blu-ray on that monitor, i think in the FW900 thread.

you can call accurateIT (accurateit.com) and they would be able to tell you, since they are about the only distributors of that crt now
 
You can display 1080p material on it, yes. The maximum resolution of the FW900 is 2330x1440 or something (it's something bizarre), but I just run it in 1920x1200.

Since you use the pound symbol, I'm not sure where you'd get something like an FW900 in the UK.
