For most (non-media) work, any cheap thing with decent res is probably fine. Doesn't matter if the color is not 100% accurate when you're typing a requirements doc. For a business-only PC, I'd want inches (and pixels) - screen real estate.

The electronics can make a difference as well. I would definitely avoid one that didn't have a digital input, the image quality is (usually) noticeably better. Before I got my current one (samsung, fairly decent) I bought a different (too cheap to pass up, or so it seemed) one that I actually returned because although it had digital inputs it would only support it's native resolution via the analogue input and the image quality via the analogue input was so bad that text was literally unreadable. Don't shop at maplins even if you need it that day is the moral of that particular story
Something else to think is whether the stand is adjustable so that you can get the height right and so on to avoid neck strain / backache. You might not think it's worth an extra £30 or whatever but even if you're only going to be in front of it one day a week it's money well spent IMO.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment
