I've looked through best buy and newegg and haven't found anything that stands out. I'm trying to find a 19" or 20" monitor with an HDMI input in the $150 range.

Any help is appreciated, TIA.

I don't know, I just meant I haven't found anything in that price range on a 20" monitor. Either no HDMI input or like $200.

Something I was considering since my laptop screen recently went out was buying a 15-22" small tv with a pc connection. Not sure if anyone else has this setup, but it seems to make sense if the prices are similar with monitors that size and u can do more with a tv. I realize it ultimately depends on what u are wanting to do with your setup but maybe something to consider. Anyone else use a tv as puter screen... Thoughts?

I use my 55" tv for my monitor. It gives a whole new feel to games.

Typically monitors can handle better resolutions than TVs so they generally look better than TVs for games.

ETA: from what i've seen on newegg finding a 19" or 20" with HDMI is gonna be hard. Once you get into the 21.5"+ range you will find more options with HDMI.

Thank you!

That's exactly what I was looking for. A little big but that's not really a problem. The only reason I was saying 20" was for pricing.

If you have a microcenter in your area check their ads.

I got a 24" widescreen ASUS HDMI 10,000,000:1 ration 2ms for right at $200 a while back.
