Answer
You can occasionally find monitors on sale/rebate at BestBuy/CircuitCity for prices that actually beat newegg.com's.
It depends what you're doing on your PC.
If you're gaming, you need to make sure your video card can play games at the monitors resolution. Anything under 8ms is good, though most LCD's are now at 6ms or less.
The response time relates to "ghosting" on the screen- a fast moving object bluring because the monitor can't keep up. Not a big issue unless the response time is over 8ms and a non-issue if you don't game.

Is ghosting more often a problem with LCD monitors than for LCD hdtv's?

Is ghosting/blurring more often a problem with LCD monitors than for LCD hdtv's?
Lets say for example, assuming they both have the same 5ms response time would there usually be tech features missing in an LCD monitor that an hdtv would normally have to reduce ghosting?
Answer
That all depends on the specific display, but the short answer is the HDTV is more likely to suffer ghosting problems.
The larger an LCD is the more the Black to white response time will be, (not grey to grey which means nothing).
30" Monitors have a typical response time of about 16ms, most 22" monitors or less typically have 6ms, some even as low as 2ms, black to white.
Cheaply made monitors and especially HDTVs will often only state the grey to grey response times, as the black to white (the important one) is very high, and the grey to grey is always much faster.
Just make sure the specifications you see state the response time for black to white, anything more than 16ms and you will defiantly notice the difference in a game like Unreal Tournament.
Another factor is that some HDTVs support 1080i which is locked at 30frames per second, unlike 1080p or any Monitor which will have up to 60fps, this is as important as response time.
In monitors and TVs you will find inferior and superior LCDs, you just need to know what to look for.
Never buy a 6 bit display, only 8 bit ones!!
