Agreed.

It seems common these days for stores to use crusty low-end CRT's to steer people to the LCD section where they make bank. If you purchase a $149 20" CRT it's not going to be stellar. On the other hand, if you take the $300 you'd pay for a reasonably 17" LCD you can get a much nicer low-end pro CRT. Viewsonic G90's retail for ~$250. I've seen factory refurbs for $150. Your eyes will thank you.
