Narrowed it down...

First let me explain my needs and expectations. I prefer flat screen CRTs, but it's not totally necessary. My desktop environtment is always at 1280x1024, and I like a 85Hz refresh rate (which I think all of these monitors run). I may move my desktop to 1600x1200 if my eyes can handle it, and a 75Hz refresh is the minimum rate I would go for that. Currently I play games at 1280x1024 too, but hope to do some 1600x1200 gaming (especially after next year's cpu upgrade). I want this monitor to last me a couple years before I have to replace or upgrade it.

Ok, in my search for a new 19" CRT, I've narrowed it down between 3 (+1*) choices, and I want help picking out the best one:

This one i really like, especially the two-tone colors, 1920x1440 max res, and it's flat (Samsung SyncMaster 997DF DynaFlat):

This one is the easiest on the wallet, I've heard it's good, but it's not flat (NEC AS900):

Another NEC, similar to the AS900 i think, but it's flat and has a higher max res (NEC FE990):

*Or should i just bite down and go for the NEC FE991SB SuperBright Diamondtron, though the $$ may be a problem...
