Get one from a distributor here in Canada, but I've contacted them all and they all want at least $1000, for a monitor that goes for $400 in the US. Or order direct from the US, and pay around $250 for shipping, at the least, along with duty and tax in the end.

So basically I can take it in the ass, or up the ass.

Yep, for new monitors, you are absolutely right. The last monitor I had shipped from Happ cost me $50 in shipping via Fedex Ground (plus taxes). It was a 19" monitor and I imagine that you are looking bigger.

You might want to post a WTB over on CGCC (although that is mostly Ontario folks) ... 3 29" monitors came up yesterday for free. You just never know.

There is a monitor supplier here that I hadn't heard of previously ... damned if I can remember their name though (but I bet someone on CGCC knows).

In any event, good luck.

You might me thinking of Rick Nieman, of Nieman Displays. Everything I've heard about them sounds great, but they don't yet produce a digital tri-mode monitor. Kind of a sticking point, since I don't want to tweak display settings everytime the resolution changes.

Bingo ... and I talked to him a couple of auctions ago.

Ah well. Sorry.
