So many CRT's for about $20 at the thrift store. It does make a some sense to go that route if you have space and can handle the hum and power usage over IPS LCD. Cheap now, maybe expensive in the long run. The contrast and viewing angles on those are pretty darn good (viewing angle on CRTs are the best) along with the response times being fair for games and video. Bad news is the large pixels and non-HD resolutions.
