   I believe you. There doesn't seem to be much of an alternative unless I know   
   of a good   
   monitor and buy it from an online company. I found 3 aperature grille monitors   
   on the   
   sites of Viewsonic, and Mitsubishi/NEC but no one is selling them. They might   
   be   
   discontinued models. With no recent CRT reviews and nothing good to look at in   
   stores it's   
   not easy finding a good model.   
      
   Maybe I'll look for some other stores that aren't the big national chains. PC   
   Connection   
   used to have stores. Maybe I can find something similar.
