U-Haul and Home Depot have many different boxes, some meant for shipping 
TVs. Those are too big for your 21.5" monitor, but you might be able to 
use a medium or large box. The proportions won't be right, but you can 
put the monitor in diagonally. Home Depot also has foam blocks designed 
for the corners of TVs. They will work for a smaller monitor.

[PLUG] Shipping a monitor

[Denis Heidtmann]

I have an ASUS VE228H which I need to ship back under warranty.  I am
looking for a shipping box, preferably one made for a 21.5" monitor.  I
have asked at two retail stores; theirs were all compacted by the time I
got there.  I will continue to ask at stores, but I thought there might be
someone here who has saved and no longer needs the shipping container
theirs came in.  The RMA expires December 20th, so I have a little time to
get the shipping done.

Thanks,

-Denis
