You should haunt www.keh.com. They're very reputable, and they often sell more common, and make no mistake the A 28mm f2.8 isn't all that rare, lenses for much less than you can get them on ebay. They don't have any A 28mms in stock right now, but they are likely to have more in the future.

One thing that somewhat concerns me with the Dell 24 (and 27) monitors is that they only seem to support a 60Hz refresh rate at full resolution (or so the specs online suggest). I would have thought that might be a problem; I thought that European guidelines for monitors suggest 85Hz or higher
