From an affordability POV the absolute best PC CRT I have found is
the Viewsonic 19" P95f+
It has a video bandwidth of 185MHz. There is none better.
Beautiful tube.
They have a real nice 22" as well. Video bandwidth is an often
overlooked aspect. Finding for less than $300 is amazing. It is far
less now than when I bought it. I would STILL buy more of these
before getting ANY comparable LCD, as they would prohibitively be
three times the price... or more.
