I think it's time to get rid of the old CRT and get a flat panel. I know on Black Friday there were tons. Can anyone point me in the direction of a great deal now? Size is not a concern, would like to spend $100 or less is even better.
Thanks.

I'm not sure about $100 or less for a price...I've bought some from the Dell outlet for around $135. At the time, I managed to get free shipping, so they were a good deal. Also, a lot of new in box ones on ebay...but of course, buyer beware.

Starting at $139.99 plus shipping:

I'd kick in the extra $10.00 to get the 17" Hanns-G though. At 17" vs. 16" the screen will be a 1/2" taller and 1" wider. That may not sound like much, but that one extra inch makes if 12.5% larger -- well worth $10!

If you really don't care about screen size, Geeks.com has refurbished 15" monitors that start at $109.99:

Keep in mind that the 15" standard-format screens are 17% smaller than that 17" widescreen I am recommending above.
