My CRT is dieing

This thing (Samsung SyncMaster 950P) is 5 or 6 years old and has been a wonderful monitor. Anybody have recommendations for a VERY GOOD 19" (would love bigger but a 21 just wont fit on my desk) crt for gaming.
I would prefer to use the BNC connections but if I had to go back to D-sub to get a great monitor I would.

This will be for gaming 80% of the time. Which is why I want another CRT. I bought a Samsung 915N which is doomed to spend the rest of its life surfing better homes and gardens on the web with my GF's compaq because to it flat just does not compare to a CRT when playing FPS games. I know some people like those things and that is great for them. But I put my old samsung with the fuzzy words back into service rather then try and game on that LCD.

Thanks in advance for some help

Everyone hates KDS USA, but my xf-9bi has great color and 1600x1200 resolution. The only thing I hate about it is when you have 1600x1200 resolution as your default res. It is bigger than the screen will allow me to view, so I can't see my task bar. All's well After about 2-3 min warmup.

EDIT: also has slight ghosting in extreme situations, but hardly noticeable 95% of the time. Spent $90 (!!!!!!!) on it at an office depot closeout.

Why won't a 21" fit on your desk? My 22" is the same depth as the 19" that it replaced(within 1/4").

Its not a matter of depth. The hutch that sits around the monitor just wont allow anything that wide or high. The 19" just barely fits .
