For those of you who like CRT monitors for gaming, etc I came across this deal at Overstock.com for an IBM P275 21-inch Black CRT Monitor (refurbished):

Shipping is $1.00
The two reviews under the monitor seem very good and a Google search reveals general satisfaction with this monitor. The nice thing about Overstock is the cheap shipping even if the item is heavy. My two (also refurbished) 21 inch Sony Trinitron CRT monitors were both purchased from Overstock years ago. One finally needs repair and the other (that I bought for a spare) is still working perfectly.
The IBM P275 is a Sony Trinitron monitor.
The inputs are VGA and DVI-I. Not sure how to implement the DVI connection, but here is the manual for the monitor:

It describes on page 4 only the DVI-A portion of the connector which is DVI analog. "Inputs RGB video and sync signals (0.700 Vp-p, positive)
through a DVI-A connector" However DVI-I (DVI Integrated) is supposed to be both analog AND digital.

Here are the correct DVI-I cables:

Monitor Specs:
Resolution
Maximum Horizontal: 1920 dots
Vertical: 1440 lines
Recommended Horizontal: 1600 dots
Vertical: 1200 lines
The monitor is 10% off right now with a coupon that is activated by clicking here:

That will bring the monitor to $170.99 + $1.00 shipping = $171.99 shipped.
