If you want perfect, or at least something with good black levels and accurate color reproduction, then you need to find one of the higher end sets like a Sony XBR or an RCA Dimensia, Panasonic Tau, or even an older Sony Professional Monitor, they can be had for cheap now.

You know, I have heard people say the exact opposite. When properly set up and with a good CRT, the old sets can produce a picture on par with the later sets due to higher quality components. However, on a tired CRT none of that matters. A lot of it comes down to knowledge how to adjust your set. I remember black plastic crap sets never needed adjusting - save for portable B&W sets. The average person who owns a flat screen or BPC CRT set won't be able to tune the settings right on a knob tuned set (manual controls, etc).
