The other day, I went to best buy and got 22" widescreen LCD monitor for $180.

Just go to the store, find a monitor you like, ask them if they can sell you the floor model, or if they have a open box (both have a 10% discount).
Shipping is a lot, and you can have you monitor after you pay.

Oh, I also got a 9800GTX+ for $100 (open box).
