The mx705 came with my system but is still in the box and I could probably resell it for close to what I paid--it was $80 as part of the package deal at Circuit City.
The Acer has a 3-year warranty and would cost $139 at a local Staples store during a current promotion.
If you want some specs:

I'm leaning toward keeping the Acer and re-selling the still-in-box HP. Thanks for your suggestions.

I would go with an LCD. The CRT is heavy and bulky and they really becoming "Old School". A CRT may be the better monitor as far as life and picture, but, I like the LCD.
