Good gaming monitor?

I am new to monitor purchasing, and am looking for a great CRT monitor for gaming (I refuse to even consider an exorbitant flat panel). I’ve heard good things about Samsung and Viewsonic. The spec system is indiscernible to me, but I definitely need very good levels of detail and a high refresh rate for high-end online gaming. As for the screen size, I want at least 17 inches (16 viewable) and will increase it in degrees based on price. For those curious, I’m going to be running a Barton 2500+, Abit NF7-S, and Radeon 9800np. Thanks!

Aren't those all AG monitors? Gray lines across the screen while gaming can get annoying. By the way, I'm willing to spend up to around $220, and one of the best monitors I've found has been the Samsung 765MB.

For that budget, go for a 19". The Samsung 955DF is one of the best 19" CRTs around. http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduc...cription=955df

Regardless of the tube mask technology used, bigger is better for gaming. Get the biggest tube you can for the money.
