OT Black CRT monitors 17inch

[Figurt]

Hello there, I know this post is offtopic, but seeming as I need some
advice, and the monitor newsgroups are completely deserted I thought that
this newsgroup was less OT than others.. sorry if u dont agree

Ok my problem is that im building a pc and the specification is all black
(got the case and everything) was going to go with a tft, but no, the
customer is adamant, that it is a black 17" crt or tft, hes also would
prefer on a Trinitron. the budget for the monitor is £150, and I dont really
want to go over £200
and if its a tft £300 (this seems unrealistic, so im tending towards crt)
it should do 1280 x 1024 85hz
on my short list I have the iiyama 413, and the NEC 750SB
the shortlist seems really small due to the fact that most companies dont
make their top range monitors in black
was thinking a IBM p77..but woah, Price
hope you can help with the shortlist, and I apologise once again for the
fact that its an OT post

Thank you
Figurt

Black looks cool, but keep it out of the sun.

Sometimes it's good to be picky, but I don't know if you'll find a decent
Trinitron OR Diamondtron monitor for that price.

Yeah it is good to be picky, to choose my 19" monitor i chose an iiyama pro
454, for approx £300 which is roughly £75 expensiver than most 19"! i
believe £150-£200 i can find a perfect monitor (besides Eizo lol)

I think the moral is that Figurt should take a little more care detailing
the specifications and quoting prices for building PCs in the future! ;-)

Didnt say that i will get you a £300 tft, i said u tell me what you want and
i;ll get it, plus small subcharge for building
i have got him to push the tft budget to £400
i think the real moral of the is that Partickp should really stop assuming!

And, while I couldn't give a monkey's about your bad grammar and spelling, I
consider it extremely rude to misspell other people's names.

Hey there patrickp (I checked it twice!) I apologise for the misspelling of
your name, and to be honest, im just a bit peeved, I dont seem to have any
real options with this display problem, didnt mean to take my frustrations
on you. I do apologise, because it seems like I hurt your feelings..and I
didnt intend for that

No problem, Figurt; I don't think I was being any more considerate than you
were! Just feeling tired.

Does seem like you have a bit of a problem - but I think the real problem is
not finding more monitors that may not exist, but putting that across to
your client! Bottom line is, I doubt he's going to get a better deal
anywhere else than from you.
