Help With Selecting A Monitor

[Slowhand]

I need some help in selecting a monitor. I need your input on one that is decent for everyday use and some gaming. Here are the parameters I have set:

Type: CRT
Size :19"
Color : Black
$ : No more than $200.00 including shipping.

Also no refurbs.

Thanks for your help

Although I don't have a specific monitor to recommend, you might be interested in CNET's Monitor Buying Guide

You should get them alot cheaper than those prices.

man for $200 you'll get a piece of s***, find $30 and get a nice Veiwsonic or NEC flatscreen, you wont be sorry.

Cysus.... do you have a link to where I can get a NEC or Viewsonic for $30.00 more?

So far..CNET and PCWorld are split but both seem to like the Samsung 957MB

on this page there are both NEC and Viewsonic flat screen monitors for $239 but there are better deals out there.

this is the monitor I use, it is great and at $209 you can't beat the deal
EDIT: here are two more good deals but they're 17inch

Check out http://www.monitorsdirect.com/
Their housebrand Cornerstone C910 is an excellent monitor (I have two, plus have bought a few other brands from them).

All have arrived extremely well packaged, and quickly. Shipping is sometimes free. Their website offers online monitor selection tools. Monitors Direct has excellent purchase followup and customer service, too. They rate highly at http://www.resellerratings.com/seller2088.html with six onth rating of 10.0 and lifetime rating of 9.87.

I always recommend them to friends and family.
