Hey, just in case you're not aware (and if you're aware and just can't 
"swing it" money-wise right now, no problem... I've been there too...) 
there are a number of used computer stores in the Denver-Metro area 
dumping used 17" monitors for around $30.  Used 19" can go as low as 
$50.

I noted that my 19" Samsung which is about five years old (yeah, I paid 
a fortune for it back then... sigh...) was dying.  I picked up a Sony 
19" with a better screen than the Samsung ever was at a store near 
Coors Field.  I did carefully select the Trinitron out of a large 
number of others, and there were actually two of them there... I 
plugged the first one into their video test screensaver pictures 
machine and found that it had gone rather dark, but the second one 
looked pretty darn near as good as the day it was brand new.

It's happily chugging away on the desktop machine now, and I didn't 
spend the $300+ I thought I might end up spending on an LCD... call me 
a cheapskate but I can get a lot of monitor for my money right now!  
LCD would be nice, but... heck, this thing looks good and it is taking 
up less space than the Samsung.
