A used CRT from a reputable dealer is the best bang for the buck IMO. A 6 year old CRT that was used for corporate displays with tubes that are not burned in and only 3000 hours or so will be working for up to 10,000 hours on the same tubes. AVS forum has a section on CRTs and Curte Palme is the man to contact.

I have a Barco 1208 that is built to mil spec,capable of HDTV resolution. Two years ago it cost me $6500 but today they are available for 1/2 of that amount because industrial use is going digital. Not for a better picture quality but for convenience. CRT is still the highest quality picture available.
