Either from Rick at Nieman displays, http://www.niemandisplays.com/ or Starburst in Toronto: http://www.starburstcoin.com/main.php

I ordered mine from Betson but the shipping was crazy expensive to Alberta.

Rick is still doing those 25s? I always wanted one, looked like a great solution. Anyone review them?

My vote goes to Starburst.
I picked up my WG D9200 five years ago from them and they were great to deal with!
They stock monitors in-house and are right in your area - can't go wrong.

I just noticed that my local WalMart had a bunch of TVs with tubes for sale in CT.  I think they were 27" and going for about $170.  It also looks like a one time thing.

Craigslist is your best bet IMO.  I got a 27" flatscreen CRT TV off craigslist for $80 in my cab

I've got a Flat tube Toshiba with component in my cab and it's great running 640x432, but I can understand the lure of a nice 25" multisync monitor for authentic reproduction of resolutions and vector visuals. Definitely higher cost to add that authenticity. Not sure what Rick's 25s are going for these days. I wish they did 800x600 though.

I wish mine was 800x600 as well.  I'm not able to play some of the newer cab friendly games like Lego Harry Potter with my TV  :(
