What's the kind of monitor that is shaped like a box?

A CRT or cathode-ray tube monitor. You don't want one of those, trust me. Get an LCD or similar flatscreen monitor.

All monitors are susceptible to dead pixels. CRT monitors just suck more because they're big and bulky and difficult to move around. Additionally, I haven't seen a CRT monitor with any sort of HD resolution. I could be wrong about that, it's just that I've never seen one. Go with a flatscreen, trust me, you won't regret it.

I know, I just wanted them because I thought they would be less delicate. Not to mention they cost less.

Also I found an HD one. (I think.) http://www.aztekcomputers.com/MT209A-MIRACLE-BUSINESS-800178.html
