21.5" monitor at MemoryExpress.com for $109.99 + 4.99 shipping

Why do I think that this is good?

IPS (In Plane Switching) LCD is much better than TN, the normal 
inexpensive LCD technology.  The best prices for IPS monitors are usually 
closer to $200 rather than $100.

1920x1080, the highest mainstream resolution.  Almost assumed these days.

LED backlight.  More efficient than CFL, but fairly common these days

Three inputs: HDMI, DVI-D, and D-Sub.  Of course it would be nice if it 
had even more inputs, but this is generous for this low price.

Headphone out (surely only for sound coming from HDMI).  No 
built-in speaker, but still useful.  Many monitors have no provision for 
sound.

Note: I've not seen this monitor.  It might actually have a horrible 
picture.
