Today at Costco, I saw 21.5" Samsung LED backlighted LCD monitor for $170. While I don't know how good it is, here is info: Samsung EX 2220X 21.5" LED LCD display, item #: 517033. Hell, Google it for ya!………can't find the product in their online store, but here is their listing. http://www.costco.com/Common/Category.aspx?whse=BC&Ne=4000000&eCat=BC|84&N=4047243&Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&cat=1680&Ns=P_Price|1||P_SignDesc1〈=en-US&topnav= I don't think Sceptre is a great quality monitor, but I see 24" LED monitor for $250, Viewsonic LED dual (two monitors) 22" for $350…both little over your budget line……Viewsonic 21.5" LED monitor for $170, and Acer 21.5" LED monitor for $140. Seems you have few options just at Costco alone. URL for Samsung EX 2220X. http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=samsung+ex2220x&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 Koichi Yasutani - a.k.a.
