I've been toying with the idea of getting a new montior. My current one is 6+ years old, and its probably on its last legs.

Perusing the internet a bit, I get the impression that CRTs are no longer a viable option. Not for technological reasons, but for marketing reasons. Fewer and fewer retailers and manufacturers are offering a decent selection of CRTs.

And at this point, I think I still prefer a CRT. Maybe people here can convince me otherwise, but the two main factors for me are price and the ability to switch resolutions.

The resolution at which I'll play games is going to be significantly different from what I'll want my desktop at. And my experience with LCDs is that I'm able to notice a sinigicant degredation in quality when running at a non-native resolution.

LCD refresh rates are getting better, so that's not so much a factor any more. But still CRTs are generally better in that department.

I don't really care about the footprint/size of the of the monitor, so I'm okay with the bulkiness of CRTs.

So I guess I'm just looking for people to either give some suggestions of retailers and/or manufacturers of decent to high-end CRTs, or convince me that I should just stop my bitching and get an LCD. Thoughts?
