I am looking for some decent quality CRT monitors for everyday use, preferably larger than 17" and smaller than 23", I am looking for something capable of at least 1280X960 @ 120 Hz preferably more, and 160 Hz for all lower resolutions. (1600x1200 @ 85 Hz would be good too)
Also they should have some kind of anti glare coating, power saving features, preferably aperture grill type and maybe flat glass (although this is dubious as many displays still have a curved image, it is okay if its curved) and release date should be around 2001 or more recent.
I am also looking for a monitor that supports Gamma calibration on the OSD, but I am not sure if any CRT monitors actually support it, something that drives me mad because CRT monitors have way too dark picture and software gamma settings have no effect on fullscreen games or movies.
Try to test the monitor on the AIDA monitor tests and see if the pictures are clean of moire and the image does not shrink or enlarge when bright backgrounds are being displayed and text is not blurry on high resolutions and refresh rate)
What models/brands of mid range/high end monitors would you recommend and satisfy these requirements?
