Acer monitors are good and usually a good price.
Should becable to get a 24 inch for around 180 dollars.
These are measured like a TV. So its diagonal. Pribably has 22 inches that are "Viewable "
Online try best egg. Brick and mortar, best buy or wally world.

27 inchers are about a buck and a half on Amazon. I am using a 32 in the middle and 27s on each side for my main computer. Missed Black Friday and Cyber Monday, next big sales will start on Boxing Day (dec 26th). I look for at least 1920x1080 and 75 hz. Want at least a HDMI and a VGA/DVID input.

Been building computers in closets since the '80s, easy to light and shut away when not in use. If buying a whole computer look for one rated for Windows 11.

32" TV's are cheap too. I have one in the garage also but it's not high def. and the picture isn't as good.

Old TVs (not HDMI) are usually 640x480 aka "standard definition" I see a Spectre on Amazon right now with 27" and decent specs for a buck and a half and Acer Recertified (factory reman) has a 31.5" 2560x1440 for two benjamins and a fin. Expect even better prices after boxing day.

Just a little more: 32' TVs with a 1080p capability and an HDMI/VGA/DVID input can make a decent monitor but may need to fiddle with the truetype a bit to find a good font. Have a 32" Hitachi in the 2nd bedrrom that does very well. However we are moving to a time when TVs do not need a tuner, hust HDMI inputs.
