URGENT & time sensitive!!! Need a 19-21" CRT: which of these is best?

[Maverick2002]

Ok, I really need a 19-21" CRT. Something that will do 1600x1200 at 85hz at least. Also need one that is completely flat (not just vertically way like the older Trinitrons). The current one I have is a 17" Samsung 755DF and I really like it, so you know what kind of quality I'm expecting. But with all these monitors I'm not sure what to get. I heard, for instance, that ViewSonic monitors die fast or malfunction, is this true? And isn't Optiquest a sub-division of ViewSonic? I don't mind the color scheme a whole lot, but preferably not a black one unless it has great features. Here are the choices:

19" CRT
21" CRT

I really really need help here as I don't know a whole lot about these monitors. I don't want to spend too much (I get a total of 40% off, don't ask), but at the same time I want quality, so if there's a really good model I'll go all out. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease give me some suggestions, your help is much appreciated!

I have a Hitachi 19", If it were me, off Directron's page, I would get the Hitachi CM828B. I really like mine alot. Good luck...

Hitachi monitors are good and relatively inexpensive.
Go to newegg.com to get a 19 inch Hitachi (CM721 F) for less than $300.00 with shipment + 5 year warranty!
Good spects and reviews.
I got one for one of my customers and he is very happy with it....

out of the group of 21 inchers, I'd go with the Hitachi's...its one of the most expensive ones but flat face and excellently low dot pitch = really sharp text and vibrant colour when paired with a Radeon.
