CRT's for the win. I'll happily keep trooping with my fw900 till the day it dies...then il try(and struggle) to find another :( While we're on the topic, what IS the ultimate crt television?...Ive never really looked into it.kidcool189trinitron's are nice although hard to come by. typically the newer the tv the better since the tubes will be not nearly as used/worn but those are going to be harder to come by. my buddy has a trinitron that me and some friends play smash on all the time.
for my setup I just use a CRT - 19" NEC ClearFlat MultiSync FE990. The colors don't distort when I tate the monitor for shmups, and it's perfect for quake/TFC, fighters and so fourth.
CRT monitors are very easy to come by. I bought mine for 20 dollars and then 3 weeks later I saw someone left one on the curb...sounds dirty but I snagged it and it worked perfectly so it's my backup...it has a round screen though so it's not nearly as awesome as my NEC.
you don't need to be a quake pro to notice the difference in bunnyhopping/rocket jumping timing between a CRT and LCD with 2ms.16 is not really not noticeable.... At least not for regular people, only a quake/unreal tournament pro player would be able to be affected by 16ms of lag. 16ms of lag = 1 frame of lag I believe. If you want a TV with low inout lag your best bet would be the Panasonic ST30. If you dont want 16ms of lag a monitor would be your next best thing.

I have a 1080p 2ms 24" Asus too, the unfortunate thing is that I didn't want to spend an insane amount of money to get a 120hz monitor so I get some screen tearing from time to time...but with PC gaming vsync fixes that right up. Then again my priorities are a bit different as I prefer performance > graphics and I typically play with vsync off. If I was a graphics whore I wouldn't be playing on a CRT in the first place.

120hz monitors still have input lag ranging between 8-16. But I really dont see how anyone would notice it if they were not a competitive gamer.
