Suggestions On Good CRT Monitors


Anybody got any?
Basically I'm looking for a monitor with good Linux support (in other words I don't want to have to deal with editing X config files all day to get it working, something I have had to deal with in the past).
My current CRT monitor is seven years old, it still works great but it has a few unremovable scratches on it from the days when I used to wash the screen with a paper towel, plus the refresh rate capabilities are kind of limited.
By the way, I know most of you are likely to just suggest an LCD monitor instead, but I need a CRT monitor for the graphics-intensive software I use, and don't feel like dealing with more of the dead pixel issues I've had in the past. Plus they are easier on the wallet

I'll second the ViewSonic vote; I have about 7 of the predecessor model of the P220f (the P815) and it is WONDEFUL; syncs to just about every mode imaginable all the way up to 2048x1536 and the color purity is wonderful. Another great choice is the Samsung 1100MB - it syncs all the way up to 2048 x 1536 @ 80 Hz (the spec sheet on their web site is wrong, check out the user manual and read some reviews on it).
