Setchell-Carlson, which later had the names Audiotronics and Dotronix, made very good B&W and, later, color monitors (and may still be making some, in fact):
http://www.dotronix.com/
I installed a bunch of Dotronix and Sony color monitors for an airport baggage-claim display system in 1999. While the Sonys were dropping like flies within five years (bad capacitors, then bad CRTs), almost all of the Dotronix ones just ran and ran for 10+ years, 24 hours per day, most needing only a few adjustments over that period. Their 1979-to-late-1980s B&W monitors made with the modular chassis designs (in 9" and 23" sizes) also often ran for 10-20 years with relatively few repairs (other than CRTs, which did need replacing more often).
Would I have jumped on that ad, and driven for hours to buy that S-C color set? You bet I would!
