I found these two but haven't seen them in person.

Pretty sure those are both 5:4 as they are 1280 x 1024, I may end up going with a 19" WG even though its 5:4. If I could find a good 19" CRT still around I may consider it.

On a side note, is Billabs still in business or not? Their site won't open again. The last time I was there they had 19" CRTs in CGA and Tri-mode, but now I cant get there.

I used a 21 inch lcd in mine 4:3 but i got it from bestbuy. cost 150 and was on sale.

But try craiglists for crt monitors. I see 19 inch ones on there all the time for about 20 bucks if you pick up.
Blanka:
Just to clarify things a bit:
17 and 19 inch LCD's are NEVER EVER 4:3! They are either widescreen or 5:4 1280x1024.

If you want 4:3 LCD's with good viewing angles, there are 20 inch MVA and IPS 1600x1200 panels, and 21.3 inch 1600x1200 IPS and PVA panels. The HP LP2065 is still on sale and a remarkable 4:3 display: IPS, great angles, very fast, no noticable iput lag. If the 19 inch panels are PVA, you probably have lots of LAG. The mentioned Acer above is a TN screen, so not really great for vertical games.

Hey Sjaak, your cocktail cabinet looks great. Nice choice of artwork!
 
Have you considered putting a piece of tinted plexi over top of your monitor?
It seems that the blacks you're getting out of it are a bit gray due to the brightness setting on your LCD (very prevalent in the first pic above). This would really help the contrast in your image.
