There are good reasons to go to TFT displays (power, weight, size, lack of flicker, etc.), but it's hard to beat a tube display for high resolution, large size screens at a reasonable price.

buy.com has the 19" Hitachi CM771 for $362.95 It's a nice tube (I'm looking at one now). I hope the price continues to drop before they dry up - I'd like to get one for home....
Cheers,
Scott.
