When Monk is writing on the monitor, the number of words and the configuration of the lettering changes several times between shots.
When Monk is at the morgue and he is looking at Jean Garnett's body, the plastic cover covers everything except her head and neck. But in a couple of later scenes, the cover is a little under her breast level and then a little under her shoulders.
When Monk is playing with the CD holder on Julie's computer, there's a glass of water nearby. When the camera is looking forward, the glass is right next to the holder, but in the reverse angle looking at Monk's face, it's significantly farther away.
The FBI agents search for pet stores that sell ferrets in San Francisco. Ferrets are illegal to sell and own as pets in California.
No matter how quickly the dessert would have disappeared from the victim's stomach, the gold leaf, which identified the restaurant, would not have dissolved, and would have remained in the stomach to be discovered by autopsy. Elemental gold is virtually indestructible.
Monk is on a chat window while the task force is tracing Six Ways' location. Monk types in "520 Seacliff Ave" into his chat box (his name is not seen in the chat window earlier so he wasn't participating in the chat session), and the address shows up on the task force's computer next to the suspect's location. There is no way this could happen.
Monk is chastised for spraying hydrochloric acid on a TV monitor, causing it to melt. But hydrochloric acid does not dissolve silicone glass, which the screen is made of. The bottle he sprayed it from was itself glass.
When Monk calls Natalie at "2:55 AM," light is shining through the window shades.
The light shining in through the window is nowhere near bright enough to be sunlight. It is clearly a streetlight that is shining in the window.

When Monk is looking at Jean Garnett's body in the morgue, she is wearing some kind of nightgown. But when bodies are at this stage in the morgue process, they should be stripped naked before they are covered up with a plastic cover and their clothes are put in evidence bags.
When Disher is standing next to a display case of drinks at the convenience store, the drinks are flipped around so the labels aren't showing.
Monk's writing on the television screen in the forensics van is far less than meticulous (uneven and with imperfectly formed letters), which contrasts with many other instances in other episodes that show him to be extremely fastidious about his writing, discarding and restarting his efforts multiple times when the lettering is not up to his standards of perfection.
