Hi everyone!
Once and for all, I decided to enter in the fabulous world of fundamentalist and purist videogamers. So I'm looking to get an professional CRT monitor.
I'm from Argentina and unfortunately, here, there are not many professional Crt monitor our there... :'(
The few that I found are 14" maximum like Sony PVM's old models.
But recently I found one Ikegami TM20-17R 20"
Yes, It´s a bit old (MANUFACTURED IN 1998)
The specifications:

What do you think?
It's a good quality monitor?
Is too old the monitor and It is too risky to buy it?
The monitor accepts RGBHV? I don't have very clear to know it..yet. (Jajajaja)
Another recommendations?

SORRY FOR MY POOR ENGLISH AND BAD CONJUGATIONS.

Thanks!  8)

It's definitely RGB capable, though the RGB input may be shared with the component input. It should also be able to handle NTSC or PAL on the composite input.

The only thing it appears to be missing is VGA support, but on the whole it looks more or less equivalent to the Sony PVM series pro monitors.
