What is the best Trinitron / Diamondtron / Whatevertron 19" monitor I can buy for my hard earned $?

[DevilsAdvocate]

I am not necessarily looking for the best of the best - just the best buy - $ for $. We are talking solid value here.

Help!

How about the clearance IBM P96 for $255 (249 in reality) with free shipping from their ebay store ( Link)?

Or there was a hot deals thread about a Compaq P910 diamondtron for ~$200 plus shipping from CDW (search p910 in hot deals).

IBM is a trinitron with dual inputs (15 pin d-sub). Diamondtron is a no-frills monitor, but has great refresh rates (as does the IBM). Either is a good choice. I went for the IBM.

have you received your monitor yet?
I am looking to buy a 19in monitor and 255 shipped sounds pretty good for a FD trinitron. if you have got it, I'm assuming you're pleased with the display

 

[JeSpre]

Nope, not here yet. Just ordered yesterday and it's already been shipped. Also, you'll be invoiced for 249, not 255. I don't know why, but I'm not complaining either. I'll post a mini-review when I get it if there are still questions.

I got my Sony G400 for $250 at Sam's Club a few weeks ago.

Another vote for the G400, excellent monitor

The Sony G420 is a great 19" monitor. The colours are crisp and vibrant and the text is razor sharp.

Refurb off-lease P1110 (21") from Dell for CDN 400 = U$ 250.

Go big or stay at home!
