Best monitor deal (20"+ LCD or CRT) I can get locally right now?

[fustercluck]

I know it's the wrong forum, but no one ever looks in the other one, and my neck is killing me (i'll explain later). Can move it to other forum if you really want to, but I don't think anyone will care.

My monitor is broke and I'm using my TV for my computer display and it's right behind where I sit, and I'd have to move a lot of stuff to use this TV as my monitor comfortably. So I want to buy a new monitor tomorrow If I can find a good deal. Craigslist is pretty dry here, so i'll probably have to buy in-store somewhere. Gonna head to Costco tomorrow but their good deals are usually online, and they take forever to ship I hear. I can't find any good deals on monitors lately, at least not from retail stores. I've looked at all the deal sites and can't find anything, but maybe someone has some inside information. Thanks

Buy one locally at a place that lets you return them, then find a decent deal online, and when you recieve the new monitor return the "rental".

Budget?

under $350. I'm wouldn't really mind getting something online, just the hassle of waiting for it to show up, and, if needed, returning would be a pain.

Thanks

Which one of those monitors is the best/best deal? I want a monitor that's good for gaming. Any coupons for CC or CompUSA? Don't have to tell me the codes, just wondering if there are any.

I've narrowed it down to the:

22" Acer AL2216Wbd, the

22" Gateway FPD2275W

22" KDS K22mdwb

Any opinions?

I still haven't seen any great deals, all just mediocre after tax, but I'll take what I can get. CC has a $40 off $199 coupon, but that probably wouldn't work for some reason.

last bump, really! Gonna buy one today. Still looking for advice or opinions.

Yowza, ? 2000:1 contrast ratio? Won't I go blind in about 3 days? Thanks though, something else to consider. Hope they have it on display.
