PHATT.
A lot of places are clearing the tube monitors out, I got both a Compaq and a Sony for under $100 and they've both been good.
NEC 4 Life right here... LCDs are coming down in price too. $200, though!!???
I am seeing some for under that, but I assume they are fly by night companies
How big a screen are you looking for? CDW has a bunch of 17", various brands in the $250 range...
even better, I would like 15". I wouldn't be mad at 17" though.... but space is at a premium.
i live by ViewSonic, but it will be hard to score any flat panel steez under 200 bones going with a namebrand. ive seen plenty of "off brands" going for 150 for 15 inchers (no ayo). check sundays newspaper ads this weekend, if you want to pick one up on the quick, if not CDW, tigerdirect, newegg are online places to check out.

Check it - got a 17" LCD for $180 (after $20 rebate) at the Circuit City in Union Square about a month and a half ago. It was definitely an off-brand, but they told me that it's cheaper just becuase they don't advertise, and the quality is no worse than the other brands (I know, "they told me", but it's been great every day since then, and no dead pixels). The brand was Starlogic. Head down there, it's worth a shot.
You might try this one

yup, there's been a glut and hence the price drops
you should be able to get a nice one for under $200 these days
I think I paid $250 earlier this year, don't remember the model though. My parents bought a DELL (just the LCD) and it looks great.
