I need a new monitor. I had a decent 1440x1050 lcd monitor for the longest time, but that had recently died on me. I have an emergency spare with a terrible resolution (1024x768) that causes problems with a few games, such as Stardew Valley.

Does anybody have some decent recommendations for a monitor? It just has to be bigger than 15'', do a minimum of 1366x768, and preferably less than $150. VGA/DVI/HDMI all work.

Size / budget / resolution / connectivity options?
Yeah, what do you consider 'cheap'?

On a side note, I just had a monitor die on me tonight and ordered This One as a replacement. NCIX has a US site. I'd highly recommend checking them out. They often have good deals, and I've bought a crapton of parts from them with no issues with them as a company. Great service.

I was more interested in seeing what people would suggest without those parameters. But added some context anyway. :)

Then definitely check out The One I Bought. It's $130 USD with a further 20 dollar rebate. Probably a decent deal. If that doesn't interest you, do check out their site for other deals.

Almost all monitors that come with HDMI ports are Full HD.  At this resolution, a 23" monitor is more comfortable for the eyes.  Do you really need HDMI?  Smaller monitors are cheaper, but it's hard to find a decent one with HDMI, D-Sub and DVI.

Probably a smidge above your budget, but try looking into a QNIX 2710.

It's not only a nice 27" 1440p IPS panel for a very good price, but it also has ridiculous headroom for refresh overclock. Consensus seems to be at least 96Hz, and many go all the way up to 120Hz.
