I just realized that I missed this when it came through, originally.

We were using LCDs from Envision with Sun workstations -- Ultra2s, 
Ultra60s, and Blade2ks. The models we used were EN9410E and H190L. Both 
were VGA-only, but they worked out of the box with a 13W3->VGA adapter.

New? It's nigh impossible. I won't go so far as to say that nobody makes 
them anymore, but very few of my standard go-to "parts-shopping" sites 
list any, except for used/refurb units.

I regularly see CRT monitors in the thrift stores in the area. I'd also 
suggest checking out any small, non-chain, mom&pop computer stores, and 
if there's an electronics recycler in the area, give them a call. Also, 
the local Craigslist site generally has quite a few people hoping that 
someone will take their old CRTs and maybe get more use out of them 
instead of having to recycle them.
