Suggestions for 21" CRT

[Adrenalin33]

Looking to buy a 21" CRT and wanted to see if anyone has suggestions. My desk is huge so I could care lessa about LCD. Thanks.

Get a refurbished Trinitron or Diamondtron from Azatek.

I would suggest the Sony FW900 24" widescreen for 400 shipped off ebay.

Could you post pics of your monitor?

Agreed, but I'd go for one of the brand new ones there.

Refurbs tend to be a lot more blurry than a brand new one. But that all depends on the brightness/contrast settings you use. For example, a refurb one at 30brightness/90contrast is as sharp as a brand new monitor at 50brightness/100contrast.
I've personally used a lot of high end refurbs and two new ones. Right now, I currently use a refurb FW900 at work. It's a great value for the price no doubt. But you'll have to decide if you'd rather go new or refurb.
AccurateIT.com has some very good deals on overstock but brand new monitors. It really doesn't get any better than $400 for a brand new Mitsubishi 2070SB(rebadged under HP on the site)

I got my Compaq P1220 (Mitsubishi Diamondtron tube) from them. Good price and well packed. I'd recommend them.

I have a Dell P1130 which is pretty amazing, but I'm itching to get that 24" Sony widescreen

One word of advice - get a grade A.

Looks nice, can you do a macro shot of black text on white backgrounds, and a shot of fine black horizontal lines on a white background, such as the input box on google or something. Take the shot with the brightness at 50 and the contrast at 100.
