I just ordered a 22" KDS for less than $180 (US) with free shipping. KDS has been making monitors for years and they are good quality. Biggest plus is the 3 year warranty - though I have never liked their stands much.
It will be replacing my 3 yr old Samsung that is only 19". I paid twice this much for the Samsung, and would have been a little concerned had it not been for the fact I have worked using KDS monitors many times and know they are good.
If you were not in Australia it probably wouldn't be a problem - but have you checked places like Newegg, TigerDirect, or even pricewatch to see if you can find a good monitor that won't cost an arm and a leg to ship to you?
