Recently bought that monitor for $50.
I think it was a very good deal no matter how you slice it. I for one prefer CRT over any other display, and I'll continue to ride out CRT the rest of its lifespan, which will probably end in 1 or 2 years. By that time, I'll probably get a SED monitor and HDTV if they have them at reasonable prices by then. But for now, I think this will due more than fine.
