Can I get a 25" CRT PC Monitor anywhere?

This will be for a Mame vector, and I've heard I will get best results with a crt vs a lcd.
Are CRTs available this big??

"Presentation" Monitors or Tri-Syncs are what initially come to mind.

Search the threads, you'll find that most likely you will not find a Monitor this large at this time and age.

I've searched and maybe found a couple but for some ridiculous price.  I settled for a 25 inch TV composite connection which I ended up switching to a 27 inch TV S-video connection  (soon to convert to component)

25's 27's and 29's are pretty easy to get hold of.
TV's really suck for vector games especially.

I've got a 29" that I bought from Happ awhile back, and am really happy with it.
It will do 640x480 and 800x600, which works great for PC games as well.

If you can handle upgrading to a 29" display then Nieman displays has a monitor than can do XGA, that is 1024x768.

It would probably be one of the best choices.  Would also be awesome for playing psuedo-vector games like Geometry Wars and Space Giraffe.

Professional Video monitors can often sync to higher resolutons, but their coarse dot pitch means that the image will be nowhere near as sharp as a PC monitor.  I don't know if that would be a bad or good thing when it comes to Vector games.

There's also the 27" Makvision. I don't think I've seen a 25" around anywhere.

Well, 24.8"....

The Makvision and the Niemen look to be the same size.

You might wait for the interesting goodies from Ram Controls...... Should come out to about the same as buying a multisync, new.
