Looking to buy a CRT monitor...any recommendations
I have researched this extensively this morning and what I have read recommends that if you are doing any type of editing, graphics, etc then a CRT monitor is what you should buy. One that was recommended is the LaCie 19" CRT. I found two stores that carry them but they run about $700.00. Ouch!!!
Do any of you have a CRT monitor? If so, what kind or can you make any type of recommendation? Shane

In the perfect world I would have the Lacie as well...been wanting one for over a year....I settled for the Samsung 950b, 19" and I've very happy with it. I am also very satisfied with Samsung customer service. I purchased from NewEgg.com and also very happy with NewEgg service !

I probably should have mentioned that my Samsung is in fact a beast...not meant for users with limited space.

Thanks Jodi...I just realized that I posted this in the wrong place. Sorry about that. Sounds like the LaCie is the CRT of choice by many. Oh well, I guess I will have to get out my change jar and see how far I have to go.

Hi Shane - I also chose a CRT for the reasons that you mentioned. I got a ViewSonic 19 inch and it is great. It is also BIG and but my eyes appreciate that a lot!

Hi Mary. I have also checked on that monitor. It is in the right price range. Glad to hear you are pleased with it.

Ok...after spending way too much time on this monitor thing this morning we have decided to move my sons CRT monitor in to replace my LCD to see what a difference it makes. It is a HP model (older) so we will see how it works. After I calibrate it I will let you know the outcome.

hmmmm, not sure using an old HP will give you any answers....years ago HP monitors weren't much use to anything more than reading word processors...

I'll throw in my 19" Dell 993 which are still available from Dell and which I've been very happy with. My wife's 19" Sony LCD is OK and takes up a lot less space but I still like my CRT best for working with images. I have a monitor/TV plastic tray thingee that sits on top so can stack all kinds of things on it - so the extra space isn't really wasted

Shane-like Mary above, I'm sold on my "Viewsonic 19"-Graphics Series G90f. There is no LCD out there now that I know of, that can touch it. I know because, I want an LCD for space reasons, but can't find one as good---yet!! Till then I'll keep looking--wife wants the CRT, so Have no choice!!
