What are the good RGB monitors that can be found in the USA?

[greedostick]

I've been researching this for a few days, and I can't find any that are suppose to be good on craigslist, and if they are on eBay they are crazy priced and usually untested.

Looking for something with RGB obviously, and component. Over 25 inches ideal, but more like 27 or 32.

Are there any monitors out there not well known that I might be able to locate on eBay or other places online. Especially if near Ohio (within a few hundred miles)

I would love to locate a Pioneer PDP-V402U, or Sony DVM model.

What do you all think are the best models that might not be hard to locate with a little patience? I think PVM is just getting too well known, thus getting crazy, so I may need to resort to something a little more obscure if I decide to get one, which I am heavily leaning toward instead of a Blast City if I can find one that's under $500.00

I have a Mitsubishi MegaView 33 (XC-3315C) presentation monitor and it is very good if you can find one.

The MegaView 33 is a big, heavy, beautiful monitor that displays native arcade resolutions. The picture is bright and crisp and the contrast is excellent. The fat dot pitch and scan lines produce a top quality arcade picture.

What's a DVM? Or did you mean PVM? BVM? Anyway, regarding the 402 -- it's great, but here are some other 40''/4:3 panels you might consider looking for:

1. - Pioneer PDP V401

2. - Pioneer PDP V402

3. - Hantarex PD40 Slim

4. - Mitsubishi XP4015

5. - Hitachi CMP307

I had a MegaView 37 once, wasn't in the best condition but it was the biggest CRT I have ever come across.

Not the best pics as they're from a crappy 2008 phone camera but heres some crt porn.

I'm a vintage PC gamer, I'll see if I can locate that NEC monitor. Thanks!

Do you all know a place that may sell some of these monitors? I can't find them anywhere. Looked on craigslist, ebay, various stores online. Very hard to find previous sales as well.

Lots of PVMs accept RGB and component (mine does and it's a very entry level), what makes the L5 great is that it goes up to 1080i and it can be extended with additional cards: http://www.broadcaststore.com/pdf/model/671080/pvm20l5.pdf

you are a few years late to the party. EVERYONE is looking for these types of monitors. best bet is locally you may find them for a decent price. online you will pay dearly.
