Purchasing Arcade monitors.

I will never buy a CRT monitor used or new again. I will not support the d-bags that have done this. It will perhaps reduce the quality of my home machines, but when I think of what I enable when I buy CRTs, I really don't care.
I will not support extortionists, even if they fit within the purview of legal commerce.
In my experience, it is easier to make an LCD emulate an arcade CRT look & feel than it is a television, but I am by no means an expert on the matter.

Dude - WHAT?

I mean I'm not going to buy any arcade monitors anymore. It's impossible to know for sure that I'm buying from someone that didn't hoard them intending to make an insane profit margin.
I mean, good for them, I hope they get rich and whatever else they want out of life, but I'm not going to encourage, enable, or pay for that behavior, myself.
In my opinion, if I buy an arcade monitor it's either going to be a verifiable new monitor for a fair price (less than $200 for a 19") or I'm not going to buy it. I feel that if I buy an arcade monitor from someone with a stash of them, I'm just giving implicit approval to them and their "FU, I'm taking them all for profit" mentality, and I won't do it. I don't agree with it.
I'm sorry you don't agree with me. We're all different.

Well, it seemed like an out of place rant. Also, a knowledgable buyer is a protected one. FOREWARNED IS FORARMED.... get it?

I have 2 24.8" Nieman trimodes left. After that no more, ever.

Larry,
Are the monitors you are selling auto syncing? Will they fit into a Atari Gauntlet Dark Legacy Cabinet? If so, please PM me as I would like to buy one.
