You could also bring it with you on the plane, as it only costs $70 for
overweight baggage(from the US). I've done it many times in the last 15
years, and never had a problem. As for lthe monitor, just get a voltage
converter to step dowm the voltage. ABC delivery at Narita will deliver it
to you the next day if you don't want to carry it home yourself.
hope this helps
