Answers:
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.

You won't notice anything below 8ms. Hanns-G and Acer make excellent budget monitors.
viewsonic is another brand of decent to good monitors. 2ms refresh is great if you don't have to pay too much for it. Check out www.newegg.com (you don't have to buy from them if you don't want to) and read the reviews on some of the more popular monitors. This will give you some good ideas on brands and what to expect from them.
