i had a particularly good experience with the Sony service shop in
south Aurora; my monitor (a Sony Multiscan 20se) was flashing an error
condition at me.  they claimed a flat 200$ fee (for fixing pretty much
anything but the tube), but they replaced the faulty IC for free.

not sure how they'd handle non-sony monitors, however.

as an aside, i wrote a little utility to help me see certain monitor
flaws more clearly (particularly color convergence, although aspect
ratio, trapazoid, pincushion, and rotation are all testable with it).
it just draws a grid of white lines on a black background, and quits
when it sees the "q" key being pressed.  source with makefile and a
binary that works on (at least) redhat 6.2:
