Not sure of how good or size of your monitor.
Since you asked for suggestions, Samsung has a very nice 22" LCD/LED HDTV that is full !080P (1920 x 1080 native resolution).
The model # is UN22D5000 and there is an owners thread on this forum.

I have (2) of these, one used as a computer monitor and the other as a bedroom TV.
The unit has picture in picture (PIP) capability which I often take advantage of, on the unit used as a PC monitor, to keep up on news, sports etc.. It's also a snap to toggle back and forth between the monitor mode and HDTV (full size) using the remote control.
I haven't checked recently, but a 26" version of this series has been reported to be available in some markets.
BB has these on sale this week at the lowest price I've found so far.
