Which Monitor?

I've just found a great retailer that offer free delivery, the trouble is their range of 19" monitors are somewhat limited, I have the choice of...
  • Samsung 19" SM957MB CRT
  • LG 19" F900P
  • Mitsubishi Diamond Plus93

They're all pricey monitors, and I like to play games, so which one would be the one for me?

If anyone could give me any advice or directions on what to go for, I'd appreciate it.

I'm not very experienced but I would go with the Samsung - they usually last the longest and probably have the most experience of all the ones you've listed. Personally, I would not go with a CRT - but it's your call.
By the way, where is that retailer? I wanna take a look at any good monitor retailer as I am having trouble finding good ones.
Thanks - kram

Sorry, it's a UK retailer, although I bet Amazon.com do some deals.

kram - Newegg has free or low cost shipping on some of their monitors, worth checking out.

Amazon is good as is Newegg, both have free shipping deals on higher priced items regularly.

You might also consider the Viewsonic G90F. Instead of the aperture grille you get a bit higher refresh/resolution support with it.

I run my G90FB at 1280x1024 @ 100hz. Not many sub 225 dollar 19" monitors sport those kinds of numbers .
