Even then, those are not really high-end CRT's, midrange really
([EMAIL PROTECTED]). And those will not match the performance of the best
20" and 23" LCD's on the market today, which don't cost all that much,
you can get a Dell 20" 16x10 format LCD for $500ish USD if you pay
attention to Dell's 1 Day sales. A 20" 4:3 LCD will match the resolution
of your Dell monitor and a 23" will exceed it (1920x1200). Either will
match the a CRT like the P991 for colour accuracy and contrast.
Also you don't normally get a Warrantee from eBay.
However, if you want a deal, look for pro 21" and 22" monitors on eBay.
I got my Cornerstone P1600 (21" [EMAIL PROTECTED], .22" dp) essentially for
free with a G3 Mac I bought a couple years ago off eBay. And that's a
Monitor that retailed for $1000-ish when new.

I just got THREE 19" super trinitrons (Dell P991)
incredible quality monitors for $345 total ($115 ea) including shipping
BRAND NEW IN BOX off ebay. And the point is, check out ebay
for some awesome deals on CRT PC monitiors because all
the "trendies" are falling for LCD which cant do the
resolution of the good CRTs let alone the contrast
ratio and color accuracy (gamut). But you better hurry
because these CRTs days are very numbered and these are now
essentially "close out" items IMHO.

I run my 20-inch Apple Cinema Display (trendy flat panel:-) at 1680 x
1050. It's superb for image editing and is beautifully in synch with
my printer.
How much do those things cost compared to a CRT that will give an
equivalent quality screen?

Roughly similar for 20" and beyond. Pro-grade CRT's are rare today
(Well, even decent CRT's are rare, with most of teh CRT market being
cheap crap for those who can't afford even a cheap $200 LCD) and still
rather spendy.
