I have a 17" samsung(pretty new). It is great for gaming because it has a 12ms refresh rate or response rate. That is unnoticible. It has a good viewing angle but the one thing I don't like is the verticl viewing angle(not very good :P ).

I play a lot of tv video files on my computer at home. I notice the artifacts a bit on the 17" but on my old 14" it looked perfect. I imagine they would look horrendous on a 19" or 21". I don't really know if that is an issue for you though.

One thing CRTs are unbeatable at is color quality.

I am sitting at work in front of a kick ass 19" Dell monitor. It costs like $600 and is 19" but it is awesome. 2 side usb and it has 15 pin and DVI cords. Its nice.

I will look out there for you if you give me your definition of "cheap"
