You may also wish to ring around for demo models of the brand you're looking for.
I know someone that got $2k off one of the top end Ezio models. Absolute bargain. Try these guys to see what demo stock they've got if you're interested in pursuing the Eizo route. There are a few other top end manufacturers that may have the goods.

EDIT: If getting a demo model, check how many hours its done. The lower the better.
