  My monitor spoilt, and i need a new one ugerntly.
  
  i know simlim have millons of choices. But i am not what type of LCD monitor should i go for. LG? And i can hardly find any CRT monitor anymore.
  
  My budget is about $250 - $300 for 15", but if possible, as cheap as possible, prefer a CRT monitor 15", any recommendation?

  It saves space, and hurts your eyes while you're at it. Perfect!

  If you want CRT, you can try the Marketplace. Most shops don't sell CRT monitors now.
  
  It's very hard to find LCDs costing around 250-300. Maybe a second hand LCD. But it will spoil soon because LCDs aren't made to last, like CRT.

  go for 17" lcd screen...a good size...
  17" screens ard $300-$350 if im right
  one thing is that dont choose those tat have protective glass as the space b/w the glass and the screen will get hot from the heat and then condensation will form...
  for me i just unscrew 2 of the 4's screw to create a small gap but its enough for condensation not to form..
