Re: OT: 17" CRT Monitors..
I'm never buying a flat, at least until they fix the blurring and I like the higher screen sizes that CRTs can goto.

Re: OT: 17" CRT Monitors..
I have a Triniton 19" and its great. I'll never go back to a 17" again. Its so much nicer, 18' viewable, for these old eyes it definitly beats a 17". Your best bet would be to just shop around and check them out in stores, or Dell has a refurbished section for monitors, computers, etc with all the same warranties, you may want to look them up on the net see what they have available... They do have good warranties

Re: OT: 17" CRT Monitors..
I'm using a 17' ViewSonic G773 that I bought about 5 years ago. I've never had any problems with it and the text display appears fine. Plus it's got 4 USB ports on the base, which is handy for mice & joysticks.
Now of course I'm talking about a model that's competely different (and older) than the one that you're thinking about getting, but it was my first & only Viewsonic purchase, and it's never given me a problem (knock on wood).

And don't listen to Fyron about data display devices - his gamma is way too low!
