If at all possible, try to make them let you try your monitor before you buy it. Plug it in and see if there're really bright stuck pixels (pixels stuck in dark colours are not too bad and it takes a while to notice them, bright whites and reds are really glaring).

Ugh. Just say no to Best Buy. A scenario I observed recently sums up just about every time I've interated with Best Buy's Tech Support:
C = Customer
BB = Best Buy (duh! ;))
C: Okay the problem I'm having is that the modem is not connecting. When I look at the control panel it shows a resource conflict. For the life of me I can't figure out where the conflict is coming from. I've updated the drivers, made sure my virus definitions were up to date and did a complete virus scan. I've not installed anything recently but I did have a power flicker a couple of days back.
BB: Its probably a virus. We'll do a complete scan and get back to you in a day or so.
C: You didn't listen to a word I said did you? *takes computer back and leaves store*
EVERYTHING to them is a virus including my monitor getting a dark patch in the center.
Edit: I've also had less than good luck with hardware returns with them.
