My 19" took a shit. been looking around, and finding it to be a b***h to get a replacement. I'd get a flatscreen, but to get basically the same size as a 19" CRT you gotta spend like $400 or so on a flat panel, and arent flat panels usually less resolution and have "ghosting" on fast things like FPSs?
bleh

Keep in mind too that you would get pretty much the same viewable area on a 17" flat panel monitor as you would on a 19" CRT monitor. But there's other factors to consider depending on what yer gonna do on the monitor... I find CRT's better for gaming, but that's me /shrug.
Save yerself some money, 17" Flat Panels probably cheaper than a 19" CRT nowadays.

I just ordered a NEC 1760v-BK 17" LCD.
http://www.tomshardware.com/display/20030221/index.html
Newegg has it for $399. with free shipping, everywhere else its $450-ish.
the NEC1760v is rated one of the best 17" LCDs, Even for Games.
l'll let you know forsure how it is friday when I get it.
Im gonna compair it to my 19" Viewsonic Professional Series P95F, Its the Creme De la Creme of CRT monitors.
I bought my P95f about a year and a half ago, it was $480. the new one that replaced it is only $270-ish. its the P95f+.
only difference between the P95f+ and P95f is mine has DV RBYG in and no game brightness quick button.
the new P95f+ has a cool Brightness button for games, it works awesome.
dollar for dollar the P95f+ is the best CRT montior going, IMO.
