Sorry about your monitor's demise. But LCD monitors have finite lifespan.
You are lucky in timing. Monitor prices drop almost 50% in the past year. I am surprise that you didn't get a 24 inch monitor, it's usually about 50 bucks more for the next size inclement. Guess most people select monitor for their desktop footprint nowadays.
@muehe you can only get 19 inch monitors on closeout sells now. The recent entry level monitors starts at 20 inches with 1680x1050 (16:10 ratio) resolution.
