What's the best shadow mask CRT monitor?

I want to get a Shadow Mask CRT for retro gaming at 320x240 (or 256x224).

 

I already have an Aperture Grille monitor, but the spaces in between the scanlines are way too big, and they hurt my eyes unless I sit far away. I would have to line-double, but that's not genuine enough for me.

 

If the monitor is compatible with 15KHz signals, that's a plus. Even better if it supports Sync-on-green (for PS2 VGA).

They don't look nearly as good because of the lack of bleeding, and the fact that it isn't playing in native res. Also, the colors are better on a CRT, the input lag is non-existent, all resolutions are native, there is zero motion-blur, blacks are actually black (like OLED), and retro games were built to be played on CRTs.
