A friend of mine just bought a LaCie 19" electronblue monitor for $199, plus $5 (yes, $5) shipping. This is about half price, plus normal shipping would probably be closer to $50 I'd guess.

This is a refurb monitor with a 90 day warranty, direct from LaCie. It does not ship with the hood, but I suppose one could be pretty easily made if it was needed. What do you guys think about a refurb monitor - can it be trusted as much as a new one? Here's the deal:
