I'm looking for a place to buy a computer monitor, preferably a flat panel 15'' or 17'' either new or used. Any of you have any ideas as to a good place to look for them reasonably priced? I'm trying to set up my laptop so I can have two screens running for accounting purposes. Thanks!

for the time being, try CompUSA stores. They're going out of business and everything is really cheap. Otherwise, ordering through CDW was always a breeze for me.
Newegg.com is also a reputable source for electronics, and usually have some great deals going on.
Go here:
Discount Flat-Panel/LCDs Items | Flat-Panel/LCDs Specials | Shop For Flat-Panel/LCDs Bargains
You can filter the monitor size along the right side.
Dealnews is a great site that compiles sales, rebates, and offers on tons and tons of tech products and office supplies, as well as quite a bit of other stuff. They track prices relative to the lowest they've seen for that product, so you can have a baseline idea of how much you should pay. They cover Newegg among their sites, so you don't have to search Newegg separately.

I found my LG 19" widescreen at Best Buy for $240, but the next week it was on sale for $199. Pretty good deal if you ask me, and it look pretty darn good.
Yeah, I have two CRTs I'll part with: an 18" and a 20" flat screen. Both are in great shape; anyone can PM me if they're interested.
Just buy a $399 dell computer that comes with a 19" LCD and sell the computer and keep the moniter
In order for that to work, someone has to want it. I'm just looking for a solution with the least hassle. I already know I'm going to have to buy a dual monitor card since my laptop isn't equipped, so I'm trying to minimize the $ I spend on a monitor.
A dual monitor card for a laptop? I have never seen a laptop where someone needed 3 displays. What do you do that you need 3?
When I hook up a second screen, all it does is say what my laptop screen does, which doesn't do me much good. I want to be able to have two different Excel spreadsheets up at the same time.
ah ok I got ya, make sure your laptop will be able to support such a card before you buy the monitor. laptops really aren't to friendly to upgrades
I figured out how to make my wallpaper go on both screens as one, How can I get my program (like Autocad) go on both screens and operate as 1?
