It's not as if LCD SVGA monitors are expensive or hard to find, either. =20
$25-$50 at the local state government surplus depot.

They might have a frame or two of lag, but I doubt it matters.  A CRT=20
will have potentially higher contrast and more updates per second (Not=20
uncommon to be able to push 120 frames/s into an SVGA monitor at an=20
appropriate resolution).
