Good point.  But see below.

I went back to it and figured that out.  Then I sorted "by seller rating" 
and scrolled down until I found a seller who had been rated more than 
1,000 times, then I chose the best price from the best sellers.


So Pricewatch only gives me two Viewsonic VX2035WM sellers.  After 
shipping the prices are $214 and $297 and the seller ratings were 70% 
positive for 50 reviews and 76% positive for 41 reviews, respectively. 
But from Froogle I found one selling it for $288 with 4.8 of 5 stars with 
1,073 reviews tallied.  It turns out that the $214 price is bogus -- the 
seller says they are out of stock.  So I go with the $288 from YesMicro 
via Froogle.  I'm spending grant money, not my own cash, and I think this 
will work out.  If it were my own money, it would probably go the same 
way.
