Best budget monitor

[bsmithy]

i can feel my monitor giving up the ghost (getting darker by the day)
can anyone suggest a brand/make of monitor (crt) that will be good for gaming but still not cost the earth

i have heard good things from iiyama

best to be available to the uk

thanks in advance

Not knowing what your budget is, The samsung 950 is pretty nice for the money. 165.00 and 19"

Samsung

neither of these places are really suitable for uk shipping

any idea how much it takes to ship here upwards of 15kg?

edit: i have seen an AOC monitor which looks nice (19", .21 dot pitch, 1600x1200@75hz) for around £120

has anyone heard of this brand before?

my friend has a AOC 19in

It is horrible by most ppl standard. he has it on 1024 x whatever and it still has fuzzy text.

Nec, Sony, viewsonic all make good monitors

budget of about £180-200 ($230-250)

i was thinking of getting one from ebay, but that's a bit of a gamble

edit: i have found this:

Samsung Samtron 76E 17" CRT Monitor

- Maximum Resolution: 1280x1024,
- Pitch: 0.23mm,
- Analog Input
- Horizontal Frequency: 30-70kHz, Verticle Frequency: 50-160Hz, Pixel Frequency: 110MHz
- Dimensions: 398 x 412 x 400mm
- 3yrs On-Site Warranty

this looks pretty damn good, what do you think?
petty they haven't got the 19" one :/

Envision EN-780-e

Size: 17? Flat CRT (VIS 16?)
Dot Pitch: .21mm (horizontal),
.25mm (diagonal)
Maximum Resolution: 1600 x 1200
Refresh Rate: 75Hz

I have one of these and they are excellent. They use an LG picture tube and the brightness is awesome. I've seen a couple of stores have rebates on these which make them a great deal! The picture is very clear and sharp.!!
