Osgeld--those old Dell monitors were amazing. I had a 17" Trinitron (1998 model) and it was razor-sharp. (No longer have it due to space constraints--sold it to a Linux die-hard a few years back). What vintage is your 19"?
Another worthy VGA display from the 90s was the NEC MultiSync line. These came out in the mid-90s just as multi-sync displays were really gaining in popularity. I don't believe they used a Trinitron tube, but they did offer the same sort of picture in terms of quality (minus the trademark gray lines).
Also, one for the "lousy" category. I'm not sure if any of you have ever heard of a company called Kingdom Computers, which has been gone now for many years, but they used to offer fairly inexpensive equipment. You only got what you paid for--their 55i 15" display was a complete disaster. The phosphor was shot in most of them after 3-4 years. They had a later 55i that wasn't bad, but the ones they sold circa 1998 were awful. Most of their computer components in general were pretty low-grade--repaired a good many of these in the day.
