So far as bottom-feeder value, check out your local thrift stores. While they typically discard old CRT monitors they do put new flat screen ones up for sale, usually very cheaply. For example, I recently bought a rather decent HP w19e monitor for $3 at a local thrift. If you want to do a low cost Raspberry Pi project or the like, this is where you should look.

I've got an older model of the BenQ mentioned by Nick that I've had since 2011 that worked very reliably over the years. I've had big and fancy Samsung and Viewsonic monitors at work that haven't been all that reliable.
