I would go with a LCD monitor that had a good refresh rate, I believe 5ms is good. Look around, pick one you like and check for reviews online.
 
Which country are you located in Lary? That will help us offer you choices through the proper retailers.


Note: Don't confuse two different properties of an LCD monitor; the refresh rate and pixel response times are very different.

- A monitor's refresh rate is how often it updates the image on the screen. Most LCD screen have a refresh rate of 60Hz - or 60 times a second.
-The pixel response time is how long it takes the pixels in an LCD display to change from one color to another. This is measured in milliseconds (ms). All companies have different standards as to what color change to measure (black-white-black, grey to grey, etc...) and they rarely specify which they used, but a decent range these days is in the sub-5ms range.

Sorry that I didn't elaborate on that. The new (TV) LCD's have a high Hz, which makes them superior in quality over older LCD TV's.
 
hi
checked them out and the Dell S2309 seems to stand out with some good reviews. i know this next bit should probably be in a different section of the forum but at the moment i already have 2 good 500gb external hard drives and a lightscribe dvd writer, am i right in thinking all i need now is a base unit with memory, a small hard drive for the OS and a pretty good graphic card. there seems no point in going for a massive hard drive when i already have them.thanks
 
Well they're fine for storage, but I don't think you'd want to be installing and running software off them. (Correct me if I'm wrong though!) I think as long as your internal hard drive is big enough for your applications then you're set.
 
Enjoy mate! Dell does make some pretty good monitors.

As for the hard drives, I would agree with Yoonsi on this. Even though you could install applications to them, I would use your external drives for storage. You can get a spacious internal drive on the cheap. And, running off of the internal SATA bus will be much faster than over USB.
