First of all, if your old monitor dot size 0.24 or 0.26
don't buy anything bigger.

Most of the new TFT/LCD "monitors" using 0.294 dot size. CTR monitors use 10 years ago such a huge dot.

Also think about the decreased contrast. LCD can do max. 1:500, CRT far better.

I use a very old HP 21" CRT with 0.24 dot and 5 weeks ago without any ask i got a new HP 1925L (19" LCD) from
my boss.

After 1 week i sent back,since too bad for my eyes.

The oldfashioned CRT far better even with flat tube brilliant. So if you need a good monitor and not for "looks good" you definatelly needs to buy CRT,flat tube at lest 17" or 19" minimum.

Most important the refresh rate at least 85 Hz at your desired resolution or more like 100 Hz.
