If I want the use V8 gfx with 12-bits per component in mind, which CRT display would be best? (Also, any recommendations for a good place to buy it?)

(I don't see LCD displays being as viable (as in cost and colorspace), but I'm open to all options, really).

If you weren't in Alaska this'd be a no-brainer - Sony 24" new version GDM-FW900. Damned thing weighs so much to ship tho

Personally can't stand LCD's - even the IBM P260 here is better than a flat panel. Ugh.

Try the GDM 5411. Goes around 100 $ and has an excellent picture.

Go for a NEC/Mitsubishi or iiyama CRT monitor, their monitors are of a very high quality (I happen to own a 22" NEC/Mitsubishi one and I'm really happy with it). You'll only have to buy a 13W3-to-coaxial/DB15 cable/adapter. But beware, the TFT, the newest hype, is crap.
