My choice would be:
Iiyama Vision Master Pro 512 HA202DT.

I'm currently using the Vision Master Pro 510, and it's the finest monitor for the price I've ever seen. The new Pro 512 looks to be even better, with a lower aperture grill pitch, and higher refresh rates per resolution.
I do a lot of scanning, watching DVD's, playing games, etc. This monitor excels in <i>all</i> respects.
If you can find anything else in the same price range that is even better; grab it. But I'll have to wish you lots of luck ... you'll need it. You'll be hard-pressed to find a better CRT at half again the price.
The Pro 512 is currently available for $838.82 at CDW:
