$100 for a brand new monitor like that would still not be a good deal.
...Unless you do print or broadcast work.
Well, I actually DO broadcast work, and there haven't been CRT's here in many years now, at least not in the design and editing process.
Ask a broadcast engineer what he thinks of that.

Well the "real" engineers still use the multi-thousand dollar CRT's to monitor incoming feeds, but once video gets here it doesn't get much attention. Of course things are supposed to get another look on their way out the door too. I'm certainly not discounting that CRT's are better for precision monitoring of colors.
