How Good are BARCO RGB Monitors?

Re: How Good are BARCO RGB Monitors?
Ask them to try it out. How good the individual set is (functional and visual inspection is important) matters a lot more than what people think about the minute differences between sets. Just so long as it's safely set up you should be good to go.
Barco was a well-respected maker of CRTs for various purposes, so there really won't be much to say here. Given the intended purpose, you probably can't expect quite the level of resolution or color perfection from a good Sony Trinitron, but on the other hand this possibly does some things (like be a real trisync tube) that those can't.

Might need some service. I don't know these monitors well - maybe the controls for position are inside the chassis?

I know a guy, met him last week to buy a PVM, he's currently selling some of them in Lille, France. Here's some shots (scroll down in the first post):
