I have been playing on a CRT monitor for the last couple of hours, and the difference between my LCD, and this CRT, is greater than i thought it would be. Now, i'm out for a new CRT Monitor, the one I have now is an old gateway, and is VERY bulky. Anyone have any ideas? A decent CRT monitor that is not too bulky?

Thanks for your help.

I think the best ones are from dell's old trinitrons that were made from sony. These have 200Hz in 1024x768 and about 85? at 1280x1024

Anyway you can just ebay them for dirt cheap but shipping cost are about 50 bucks.

The best gaming LCD monitors right now have 2ms response time - viewsonic vx922 or benq gaming lcd. I believe viewsonic will be releaseing a 1ms LCD soon.

Very nice. I realized that ghosting is a lot worse than I thought it would be. The CRT image is so clear when i move.
