It looks like a pretty good CRT monitor... I am not familiar with that particular brand of monitor, but if it performs at the level shown it would be a decent choice for a CRT.

In CAD I always try to find at least a .22 or lower for dot pitch and the resolution and refresh rate is also key. You may find refresh rates as low as 60Hz on some higher resolution monitors and that simply is not good enough for me. I like the 75Hz refresh rate at max resolution, but it would be great to find something pushing 85Hz or even 100Hz now that would be sweet....

The price tag is also good, I have seen less expensive monitors with a tradeoff of dot pitch and/or max resolution. Just to put it in perspective, if I can save 15% on a monitor by sacrificing a higher resolution and limiting myself to say 1600X1200 and get a refresh rate of 100Hz or even as high as 130Hz I would do it in a minute...
It looks like a good buy though...
Cab have you tried looking at the marketpro computer shows web site and finding out when the computer shows are near you and see if you can find something there...

1800x1440 @80Hz
1856x1392 @82Hz
1792x1344 @85Hz
1600x1200 @95Hz
1280x1024 @110Hz
1152x864 @129Hz
1024x768 @144Hz

I don't think i can wait much longer, i got the itch &  i'm using a 15". :shock:

I was thinking i would use 1280x1024
I am using 1024x768 now.

I got a 19" flat panel mon here at home and i love it. (More then i need ...Its great!)

I got a Mitsub. LCD dimond point  -I cant remeber the model number- down stairs and i would recomend that one to everyone. The pic is crystal clear. It ran me about 700 and its got a  digital cable hookup. (Damn those cables are expensive ..i dont have one of those. :P)

So i would say a 19 is fine.

Well, the new pooter arrived. Dell Precision 360 Minitower, 3.00GHZ P4, 512MB, 400Mhz SDRAM (little small, but ok), 21 INCH MONITOR, nVidia QuadroFX500, 128MB graphics card, 40GB hard Drive, 3.5" floppy (don't say it !) 48x/32x/48x CDRW, Iomega ZIP drive, Optical mouse, Windows XP Pro, Dell A425 speakers, MS Office Pro XP, Adobe Acrobat 6 standard and a performance USB Keyboard.
I really don't want to give up my amber monitors, but I guess I'll get used to the 21" MONITOR.  :shock:

What's killing me is that I have 3 major projects going. All due either this week or next. SO, Black Beauty sits there in the box, quietly calling to me and I don't have time to do anything about it. I mean, I haven't had time to even open the stupid box!! It's like adding an extra week or two between Christnas Eve and Christmas !! I can't stand it!!!

Tell you what...as a favor to you (and I wouldn't do this for just ANYbody) I'll come down and get the darned thing....take it off your hands.  That way you won't be suffering all these pangs of anxiety, looking at that nasty little monster sitting there in the corner......
Now THAT'S what friends do for friends!
