Solution
That's probably a good monitor; it looks a lot like the one I got, but without HDMI.

Mine: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236079

And my review of it back in February:

Pros: No dead pixels. Uniform brightness edge to edge. Viewing angles very good. Good price. Stand seems sturdy enough. Perfectly clear at native resolution. Fantastic amount of room on my Windows Desktop, and Guild Wars looks great.

Cons: I'd prefer a more center-mounted power button; care is needed not to turn the monitor when pressing the button on this one.

Other Thoughts: Using DVI connection from a HD4850. I have not tried the speakers, but I didn't plan to use them.

Since then, nothing has happened to or with it to alter my 5-star...

You might consider a 1920 x 1200 resolution. It is 16:10, which is much more aesthetically pleasing for office and desktop use. Works great for games. I know that's a bit subjective, but 16:10 is much closer to the golden ratio which is scientifically proven to be more aesthetic than 16:9. I use 1920 x 1200 and It's great. I find them much moire "balanced" and elegant.

Or maybe I'm just a freak who takes it too seriously.

I buy my monitors used. Much cheaper, and I have never had a dead pixel. But if I ever did, I would be able to return it through eBay/amazon to the vendor--unlike NEWEGG, which will not even refund a monitor if it has less than 8 dead pixels.
