Get a 24" Monitor, it will be easier on your eyes and they are cheap. All 
monitors are compatible but HDMI connections do the best job of auto-
configuring. Monitors all come with multiple connector types on them, at 
the very least they will have DVI and D-Sub but most modern monitors have 
HDMI also. All relatively modern graphics cards have DVI, new cards 
usually have HDMI also (look at the connectors on your card to see what's 
supported). If you buy a new card then make sure you get one that supports 
both DVI and HDMI. LED back lighting is also a feature you want.

Check Newegg for reviews and for specials, today's special is 24" ASUS for 
$190 ($30 bucks off). Don't know if adjust-ability is important to you, if 
so then Dell's have really good height adjustments. If you want to attach 
to an arm then make sure that you get one that has VESA mounting support.
