Looking for a cheap second monitor.

Hey guys, 

 

So I've been looking for a cheap (under $120) monitor that's 1080p/60 and has HDMI input. I currently have an Asus 1600x900 monitor, if that's relevant, but I need a second monitor for multitasking. Everybody loves being able to watch Netflix or YouTube while gaming, or watching Netflix/Youtube while browsing reddit or LinusTechTips :)

 

Anyways, here are some monitors I've been eyeing for sales:

http://www.amazon.com/Asus-VE228H-21-5-Inch-Integrated-Speakers/dp/B00413PHDM

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AZMLIWW

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IKDFL4O

 

Like I said, I'd like to stay just above the $100 mark, and it needs to have HDMI. My local craigslist has absolutely nothing, not joking, and buying used on ebay doesn't take that much off the price tag.

 

SO. Here is my point. Prime Day is coming up over at amazon, so should I pounce on one of these if they are on sale? Are these worth buying?

|  Sennheiser HD 518   |   FiiO E10K DAC and Amp  |
