A relatively simple question:
What is the best sub-300 US$ Display for a new G4?
P.S. It can be a CRT
15" MacBook Pro 2.2GHz 4GB RAM 8600M GT 320GB HD
15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz 2GB RAM 8600M GT 200GB HD
17" C2D iMac 2.0GHz 2GB RAM x1600 160GB HD
15" AlBook G4 1.5Ghz 1GB RAM 80GB HD

After a month with an NEC FP2141SB monitor, I would recommend this:

19" NEC CRT
3.06Ghz 17" MBP 4GB RAM 7.2k 500GB HD anti-glare display|Dell 2408WFP|2G 32GB iPod Touch

Ok...


17" Nec CRT


At this point you can't get a quality LCD for $300 or less.
