Samsung SyncMaster 793MB

Fully flat, .20 dot pitch, 1025X768 @ 85 Hz enough for your eyes, really good looking model in design

For specs go here

Or best, U can go for a LCD monitor, for which I recomend the Smaung 173X 17"

17'LG700E for 5.4k.
Very good performer.
But not flat crt i guess.
But it really compliments ur rather outdated configuration.

i would back gxsaurav
Brand Name:- Samsung
Model No. :- Syncmaster 793MB
Cost Approx:- 8100/- (10 days back price)
Reason of recommendation:- I got this monitor around 10 days back and I am in love with this thing. Absolutely flat CRT with 0.20mm Dot Pitch and a very good anti glare filter coating. Also it is black so your desktop will look even better ;)
Brightness and Contrast are great too.

My vote for Sync Master...

I was lookin for 763MB, but unfortunatley, when i was buying mine MB series was not available. So went in for 763DFX....
763DFX is Fantastic, So i guess MB Series will be even better, Price diff is only some 300-500 bucks, So i recommend MB series Samsung Syncmaster
