Steve, sorry I didn't get to this post until now. While it may be too late (although you could potentially return your monitor to Futureshop), check this site out:
http://upgradepath.bc.ca/pc I bought a monitor there a few months ago after mine fried and the prices tend to be very comparable to what you'd get at Atic Computers or A-Power in Vancouver (after you factor in shipping).
For example:
SAMSUNG 950B, 19", .26mm(H) DP Info. $327.50
SAMSUNG 900NF, 19", 0.20MM (H) DP Info. $424
