I'm looking for a good CRT for my computer.
Which CRTs should I look for and where?
Thank you in advanced.

That site seems to be pretty well-liked if you're looking for a CRT. The 24 inch Sony FW-900 is generally considered the best CRT ever made. It's huge but I imagine it's well worth having if you have the desk space for it.
 
I've been looking at those two as well as a Dell P1130.
I just managed to get a Dell Trinitron P1110 for free. How are these?
 
The GDM-F520s that had been listed on eBay are gone. (They were new, which made them a rare and fleeting opportunity.)

The F520 features the sharpest computer aperture grill CRT ever made.

However, the image quality of the FW900 is otherwise similar and it is significantly bigger and wide screen. (It is variable pitch, .23 to .27, so the center is actually sharper than any other aperture grill tube, except for the F520 at .22.)

Both models were well over $1500 new at a time when many high quality CRTs were going for less than $700. The other models featuring FD Trinitron tubes from Dell and such are from the more affordable Sony lines and are also well liked by many.
