I just got a friend to switch to Mac and now that he's bought a G4 he needs a monitor to go with it. He'll mainly be working with digital video editing and the like, so it should be preferably a 19in and something high quality like a Trinitron or a Diamondtron. He has maybe $300 max to spend on it, so it might have to be refurbished or open box. Any help guys? Thanks

I use an NEC Accusync 95F with my G4 and I like it, its 19", flat and under $300 too.

Philips and Samsung make some nice as well.

and many other PC places has test of monitors.

For 250-300 he can find quite a number of nice new monitors.

But if you can lend him $100, i'd recommend the Sony 19" G420 (or the LaCie monitors). Great monitor for graphics and video work. Might as well spend the extra cash if he can.
