I'm planing to buy a G4 733 Edu. It's never been so cheap to buy a G4...

Well, here is my question: I don't have the money to buy a LCD monitor (if I had, I'd buy a 933 or dual giga) and would like to get a nice, reliable and WITH NO FLICKER 19" CRT. What do you people suggest and why?

thx for the help.

Go with a Mitsubishi 19". They're big, bright, and incredibly sharp. No flicker. Go check out the monitors in person before you purchase.

I higly recommend the LaCie 19blue... it's awesome! One thing I would never cheap out on is the monitor.

but if you read on LaCie's web site, the 19" electron blue is a Diamondtron Aperture Flat screen. If I am not mistaken, this tube is made by Mitsubishi (or NEC, same thing).

Am I right?

I bought the Mitsubishi Diamond Plus 73 17" CRT when I bought my 733 MHz G4 a few months back. It's a very nice bright, crisp monitor with the Diamondtron Aperture Flat Screen technology.

I got a KDS 19" Flat CRT for my PC. I like it.
(And I found it for a song at the local Sams Club).

I wish I bought two (one of the office). They had about 70 of them. The next day they were all gone. (Priced at $199 ... had I known that it was THAT good of a price I would have gotten two.)

I'd think twice before i bought a KDS CRT monitor...they tend to have a blueish hue to them and poor brightness. This might be ok in the PC world but it's hardly adequate for the Macintosh.

I say this as I look at my KDS display(we also have 15 of them at work...they all have the same blueish hue)

I dunno ... this one is a fairly new model. It's so bright that I have to turn it down. I don't see any bluish hue. (The colors are fairly close to my Mac 17" LCD ... not that one can compare a CRT to an LCD but still.)

It's worth looking at for comparison. If you like it it may save you some pesos.

I saw a new Formac 22" in the latest MacAddict... they gave it a wicked review.


failing that...the Lacie 19" is awesome, and crisp.
