If i'm to buy one or two crt monitors that will be used *a lot* together with a PAL unit, what are my best options? Do you have any favourites?
i'm looking at price (they don't need to be cheap but shouldn't fetch a ridiculous price either) and availability of replacement unit with the same form factor if something goes sour eventually. It is important that it can be turned on for long periods on a daily basis. Even better if they can turn on automatically as soon as they're connected to mains, but not necessarily. I'm looking at ebay and maybe that's not the best place to look - a lot of the screens seem to be outside the EU region, or they're monochrome closed circuit/security monitors.
Wether the monitors have all kinds of fine adjustments or not isn't too important. It does not need to be top of the line.
Is sony PVM the end-all be-all?
