Apple has not made a CRT in couple years. A Mitsubishi Diamond Pro or a Pro model Viewsonic would be a top notch CRT. Sony Pro line is good but too over priced and not quite as good as those mentioned. I have all the monitors I have mentioned and prefer the Pro version Viewsonics. These monitors have much better warranties than Apple. The Studio Display and the LaCie blue series are Mitsubishi Diamond Pro CRTs. You can get these great CRTs dirt cheap right now. Mitsubishi has stopped making CRTs and others will follow. Mitsubishi Diamond Pros are still available right now.
