If you don't mind buying a refurbished model this 21" Dell P1110 is very nice, and has a FD Trinitron tube.

Including Shipping, the cost is $280, approximately $20 more than the Mitsubishi.

The Reseller Rating (http://www.resellerratings.com/seller3792.html) for this store is non-existent, but many members at this forum have had very good experiences with this store, so I wouldn't worry too much about them.

As you wish to go cheaper than $200, this IBM P260 is also very nice (FD Trinitron) and 21", but still refurbished.

Good Reseller Rating (http://www.resellerratings.com/seller4424.html), but there aren't very many reviews of the store. I know it has been around for a while.

Another good source would be Azatek, but there are too many monitors for me to list.

Very good Reseller Rating (http://www.resellerratings.com/seller5703.html) for this store.

Hope this helps some.

I have a ViewSonic A90f+ (19") that I got at Best Buy for $230 and it works great.

I've had an amazing time w/ a Samsung 955 DF:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=24-001-119&depa=1
The price is great ($185), dot pitch is low, screen is perfectly flat, and refresh rates are good for high resolutions...not to mention its bright...very bright! Also, for a 19" monitor, it is very light (IMO...haven't put it on scale yet...).

I forgot what the price was, but Samsung makes another model, called the 957 MB, its got everything the 955 does, but with more brightness/contrast features (they call it "MagicBright"...basically if you want to be able to signal airplanes with a monitor, this is the one to choose...)

I just picked up a Dell P1110 and it is a great monitor. Picked mine up at a Tigerdirect outlet store so I saved on shipping. Definitely worth every penny. 1600 x 1200 is amazing in games at an 85mhz refresh rate.

thanks... will have to see what fits in my budget

ViewSonic P95F+ for $240 shipped new from TechOnWeb.com.

I have that same Mitsubishi monitor only its a 17" and it is simply amazing to look at. A much crisper picture than the old 17" HP monitor that I used to use. The only complaint that I have about it is that it doesnt seem to save the settings very well for the side to side adjustments. It is a great monitor though and I am really happy with my purchase.

The Samsung 955 and Viewsonic G90 series are really good and should be available for a bit over $200.

I'll throw in another vote for the Samsung 955 since I've been using one for over a year now. It's a very sweet monitor for the price (got mine at BB for $135 after major rebates).
