    The time has come yet again to spend stupid money on pc stuff :hehe: as my mum would say anyway I am wondering what crt to get budget is around £120 and might break the bank abit I been looking at a few but all the specs on crt's mean nothing to me even though I own a 15" studioworks :hehe:

    These two are the main ones ive been looking at

    yet another vote for an Iiyama here. I'd say try to find a second hand vision master 454 19", i got one off ebay recently for £40. I had a problem in that it stopped displaying a picture, but it was replaced no questions asked as it was just (1 month) within the 3 year warranty :)

    Get on ebay and get anything with a Diamondtron Tube (or an Eizo a bit like this one.)

    They're all bloody excellent, and can be had for bugger-all. :thumb: :D

    People are still using CRTS? I used to have a Belinea 15", it was very nice but now if got a TFT i dont get hit with static discharge anymore (or the near fatel discharge throught the mains plug from the capasitors)

    What did you do, have it sitting outside of its case? :eyebrow:

    19"+ CRTs for the win.

    I have the Hyundai Imagequest and it is a great monitor apart from 2 things. At 1280x1024 @ 85Hzis makes a curious squealing noise and it takes a minute or two to get to full brightness after being turned on.

    I've ued Aria in the past without a problem ;)

    But they don't sell the 19" Iiyama VM Pro 454 you're thinking of getting!

    But truth be told... it seems to be quite a difficult monitor to find anywhere now :confused:

    It doesn't matter how much money, just get a Viewsonic , they are sooo damn nice!
    you can get a V201b (widescreen) from Evesham (lowestonweb.com) for £220
    its sooo nice, but i would spend on a VX924!

    Another vote for anything with a Diamondtron tube. Using a 22" Diamondtron here, it is beautiful!
