Almost 1 year ago, my LG 17" CRT 'collapsed'. Since the LCD size that I really like (19") was too expensive at that time, I went for a new 17" CRT. I chose a Samsung (SyncMaster 793) with a flat screen (not rounded) and good specs (refresh rate, dot size,...) that went for the equivalent of about 150US$ and I am happy with it. However, in the short term I'll have to reduce my desk space and, although the Samsung is noticeably smaller than the LG, I may have to finally consider a 19" LCD.
