As a matter of curiosity,

What Country do you all live in ?,
How much would you have to pay to buy a 19" CRT 1600x1200@75Hz ?

I paid in UK, including VAT and carrage about £110.00 =  77 Euros
but I notice the supplier is all sold out right now so they all
went quickly. This was an AOC, not top notch quality by any means.

Generally there are plenty similar available for
about £125 = 88 Euros

But if I wanted a 21" CRT I can only find top quality devices
and they cost at least 3 times that sort of amount.
