hi all,
I have an old monitor that I have been using for years, is now giving signs of kicking the bucket. It seems to me that I will have to replace it soon. I would like to know what are options I have. I want to know what a good CRT Monitor cost these days? I am particularly interested in LCD Monitors, size doesn't matter, price does.

thanks

My budget for a CRT monitor would be around Rs. 4000 or less and do you think an LCD monitor can come within Rs. 8000?
thanks

Yup, get a AOC 17" monitor. Spend more and get a Viewsonic VA1912w 19" LCD for 9k. :)

to hell with viewsonic's and aoc's. They are absolute crap.

Get Dell 198WFP for 9.5k or 178WFP for 8.5k. else go for Samsung. Don't even think of viewsonic or aoc.
