I did not know they still make CRTs. I guess because all big Tech companies shifted to the new techs And it is them whom do Advertisements.
CRT's are getting scarce as new purchases. Your best bet is to find a mom and pop store in your area that sells used equipment, and get one there. At least you'll have a place to easily take it back to if it only lasts a month. The problem with buying online is you'll find mostly refurbished devices and the shipping is horrid cause the units weigh so much, so shipping it back if your not satified will cost you.
I think you can import it or ask anyone coming from China... best place to buy strange item/things

If you'tre looking for image quality, treat yourself and buy a LED monitor, they're friggin awesome!
Edit:
Colours tend to be better on CRT monitors than on LCD screens. set one up beside another, and get a picture of a chessboard (black and white) and compare them, you'll see the difference.
Seriously though, LED screens are shit sharp, colours are spectacular, and what you pay in shipping a CRT monitor, you'll end up spending the same on a LED

The only place I've seen CRTs readily available is inside the public school system.
Maybe when they do upgrades you can buy them there... :/

CRT's are superior to LCD's. LCD's wished they had the black levels CRT's have. Had a Viewsonic 19" CRT a long time ago and it had an outstanding picture. The reason CRT's are a dieing breed is exactly what clocker said, "Size, heat and power consumption". The only thing that even comes close to the black levels CRT's have are the Pioneer Kuro Plasma TV's and those you are going to pay a pretty penny for.
