What is a good crt monitor? I have been searching on the net for hours now and it seems that everyone has just stopped making them. I do not want to spend over $250 and need something below 19". My current one is a viewsonic g75f with aperture grille. I like it alot but this is the second g75f that has gone out on me :( Any way that I might possibly be able to get an lcd that doesn't have horrid color shift problems when I move my head just a couple of inches?
 
I see you said below 19" but how about a 24" Trinitron CRT for $319 with free shipping:

You will not find a better LCD or CRT in the world than this one. I owned another version of it and it was better than awesome. It can go 2304 x 1440 @ 80Hz. Anyway, I switched to an LCD and it is pretty good- good image quality, light weight, and doesn't require a power plant to power it. Thing is you will not find an LCD that matches a "top of the line" CRT.

Anyway, if size is an issue, and must have a 19' or lower, try craigs list, newegg, or accurateit.
 
I used to have a DeluxePro CPD-G520 21". It was absolutely stunning. Only thing about refurbished monitor's is that the phosphors still slowly die and it will fade, and only worsens, the older the monitor. Would be good to know when the monitor was manufactured before you hope to keep it for the longterm.
 
Man $319 is steep, with shipping I bet over $350. Because of desk space I really can't go over 18" monitor depth. Would $300 put me in the price range of a non TN panel?
 
You could buy my old Viewsonic $19 for $10 + whatever massive amounts of shipping it would cost to mail the beast.

:)

Otherwise I would suggest Craigslist. There are tons of CRTs for sale on there for about $20.
