Wow,
I forgot that CRT's can still be that expensive. I have a viewsonic Perfect flat 19" that has been all good for the past 4 years. One thing you may want to consider is looking on E-Bay using the local search option. This will allow you to find people selling monitors in close proximity to you. This way you can useually avoid the shipping cost. I used this method to get an AC unit for next to nothing. (Not to take any business away from great newegg) Either way good luck in your hunt.
