That is the same one that I have. I paid about $300 for it though about 5 years ago. You really need a large dest to set it on because it is about 1.5' to 2' long. It does beet a 15" or 19" though.

Excellent price for a 21" monitor! I got one not too long back for cheap, I think it was a little over a 100 bucks. I don't have a huge desk, one of those small ones actually with the wire tray you fit it in and it fits fine.

They may be ugly and not the 'in thing' , but I'll stick with CRT for the higher contrast, color accuracy, and the lack of ghosting.
That said, I'd love to use LCD monitors at the office for the lack of eye-strain issue (no flicker).

I'm mixed about it... a "new" CRT is definitely nice for the black levels, but they wear out over a period of a couple of years in my experience... I have a Dell monitor on my desk at work that's not nearly as crisp/sharp as the laptop's screen next to it, I think mostly because of the age of the CRT...
