    Question Best 19" gaming CRT on a budget?

    I'm building my son a gaming machine to keep him off mine! I'm prety much following the value system listed on Sharkey's site. Would the Samsung 955DF be best choice?

    Anything else you would add or change to that system?


    Appreciate the help,
    HS

    Do a search for the Viewsonic A90F. Nice monitor that won't tap your budget....

    Is this an older Viewsonic? I see the E90F on Newegg.com, but not an A90. That is about what I want to spend, in $200 - $230 range.

    Thx

    I am sorry I post a lot about ebay but hey, its the answer for a lot of things

    Guess what Im gonna suggest? EBAY! hehehe I got a G500 for 250$ with shipping. got a G400 for 150$ shipped. That was over a year ago. They are both still great monitors and for those prices, really cannot be beat even if they are used. Just make sure its a good seller, he/she has the original receipt, and its not 3 years old or older. Sony has a great rapid exchange program. If it dies, As long as its under 3 years old and you have that receipt, they will send you a new monitor and take the broken one back. I do not know of any other companies (in terms of CRT manufacturers) that will do that...
