Hey guys, I'm looking to get a new monitor soon, around 17", what resolution and other stuff should I be looking at when going to get it?

Cheers. :)
 
Yeah I've had a lot of problems with my measurements, (credits goes to my brother). I just did them myself and on my desk I have the current height:
17" or 43.18cm or 431.9mm

The deminisions for the 21.5" that you reccomended (which looks very nice) has:
Dimensions: 504.6mm x 392.9mm x 175.0mm, is that ( w x b x h ) do you know or?
 
The resolution is the same from what I can see, the screen size of the cheaper one is only .4 of an " smaller, the smaller one says it has multimedia speakers, I don't think the dearer one does? Hmm they both look very nice :)
 
just saw this in the comments below it, does this mean that it doesn't have a HDMI slot?

"worked straight out the box, clear instructions etc, nice clarity, just as good as £120+ monitors...only draw back is perhaps the lack of HDMI connectivity, also for those wondering it is an
AOC 21.5" monitor "
 
I have a DVI cable but I'm using it atm for my current monitor, so tell me exactly what my basket should look like if possible :). Also do I need to get any extra adaptors to run the two montiors at the same time on my computer?
 
two dvi yeah sorry, was about to correct that. Yeah I have a HDMI-->HDMI cable that I am not using atm. I have a VGA-->DMI adaptor in now for my monitor to the GFX
 
Let me rephase it, on my GFX I currently have:
-Two DVI ports - one of them is in use.
-One HDMI port.
-Two smaller ports that look similar to HDMI but are much smaller.
 
Great, so I'm all set then :) Wish me luck :) Will post a pic if I get it all set up when it comes of my gaming station :o)
