CRT Monitor Choices....help me decide

I'm looking for a good 19" CRT mostly to play games with. I'm replacing an aging NEC Multisync FE991sb which has been fabulous but is now having flickering and image problems at the top and bottoms of the screen. I'm not going with LCD because I like to be able to change screen resolutions for some games and space is not a consideration.

Here is what I've come up with so far:

Viewsonic G90FB
Viewsonic A91f+
Samsung 990DF or 997DF (I think these are the same, just diff colors)

Am I missing any? Which is the best?? any advice?
 
I would reccomend another NEC FE991 or FE992, but of the ones you listed the Samsung 997DF (It is faster and I think supports a higher maximum resolution) The viewsonic moniters you mentioned have problems at the high resolutions.
 
I didnt mention NEC initially since I was originally trying to stay away from NEC since that is the brand of the monitor I have now that is broken.....AND NEC told me they stopped making the FE991sb (the only site I could find it on for purchase was NEC and Toshiba). But after doing more and more research it seems like the FE991sb is the best 19" CRT out there for gaming. If anyone knows where they are selling them--I would probably buy another, it was a beautiful monitor.

As far as LG, I can't seem to find any CRT Monitors on their USA website. Where did you get it and when?
