Guys,

I'm looking for a monitor $500 or less that is at least 21 inches and has great refresh/dot pitch rates... any recommendations?

I have a Radeon8500DV and will primarily be watching DVD's off my DVDROM and gaming, and have 512 MG's PC2100 RAM and a 1.3GHz Athlon.

I want to wait on the LCD craze and stick with a normal monitor for now since they're cheaper, just a little bigger!

One last question, are there any CRT's that have DVI outs? That would be preferable if it exists with my Radeon. Any thoughts on this matter are appreciated... :)

don't think DVIs are meant for CRT monitors... if u're into visual quality, look into getting a CRT that has BNC connectors... i'd recommend the Nokia 21" monitor for your price range... but they're a little hard to find online for new nowadays
