    I have two DVD drives on my pc,one internal,one external, I can't find any info when searching the properties of either as to whether they are multi region. I suspect most modern drives would be but mine are a few years old at this stage. I'm looking to get some DVD's on the US format, ntsc, ¼ the price of pal. Any help?
    Also, are monitors affected by region?

    They will be multi-region. The problem is they will only switch between regions before locking to one. You could always watch the dvds through vlc player which completely bypasses the region locks and prevents the drive switching regions.

    It's a free piece of software for playing music and videos.

    You should be able to find a firmware hack for the DVD drive to make it region free, alternatively, check out slysofts anydvd
