im looking for a crt monitor for gaming. money is not an issue. because they are rare now i am willing to settle for a refurbished product if i can't find a new one, i want to avoid used. i need at least 19' but i really want the best crt ever made, whatever that is. i heard great things about some sony f590 or something of that sort but i have no idea what the best crt monitor ever made was or if i can get it nowadays. I also only want a black monitor which complicates things further. I *really* want this crt, please help me get it.





p.s. no i dont want an lcd come here so i can slap you

ive already read that article it lists two 17inch models but im not interested in anything less than 19. leaning towards getting a widescreen too which is gonna limit me to about one or two models

SGI GDM-FW9011

You have to be aware that specialist brands like Silicon Graphics may use proprietary connectors. Can be hard to find one which will adapt their monitor to a standard PC connectors (even though there may be ones to adapt standard PC screens to SGI computers).

BNC shouldn't be hard to find though I guess they are pretty much redundant.

well i found a sony gdm fw900 version and bought it cause it was a steal at 125. no problems but i cant figure out an optimal setting for colors. there is red blue and green gain and bias so 6 settings. the default does not look right and i need a recommendation.
