Any place to get a CRT monitor buyer guide/review.

[karma4jake]

I'm looking to get a 19" or 21" CRT monitor. I want CRT for clarity/contrast and for the ability to play games at something besides the native resolution without it looking bad. I have plenty of room for a 19" on my desk and possbily enough for a 21" although I don't really know that I need it. I noticed anandtech has an oodle of LCD reviews but no CRT reviews. Is there a place to get reviews or guides on CRT's. As of now I'm looking at the NEC/MITSUBISHI FE991SB-BK 19" SuperBright Diamondtron CRT on newegg for $250.

Some sites have reviews on CRT's but LCD seems to be the in thing. Here's some reviews

This is from Anandtechs reveiw of the mid-range system on the front pages of anandtech.com (the second article).


" Technologies for CRTs have not changed much in a long time, and there are not too many tube manufacturers remaining. Arguably, the best 19" CRT remains the NEC FE991SB. It has a maximum resolution of 1792x1344@68 Hz and a more practical resolution of 1600x1200@75 Hz - those of you who lack perfect vision may prefer 1280x1024@85 Hz. All told, the FE991 is a flexible monitor that's great for just about any use. The screen is perfectly flat, colors are vivid, and text is crisp and clear. Even the "Super Bright" feature is useful for games and movies that may be a bit too dark by default. "


I have two of these monitors myself and love them, I would only trade them too two of the 22 inch NECs, but at around 600 each........ I just can't justify 1200 in monitors.
