Should I or shouldn't I?

I have the option to get a new second monitor that is the same as my current main one.

 

I have a cheap 20" one as my secondary where as my current one is 24" but it is only 1050 and is an older screen.

 

Should I get the new monitor or wait to get a 1080p one?

About £40 at the moment, if I were to get it it would be a lot later down the line

Depends on the price, if its cheap enough go for it.

 

Its £35 but it is second hand

£35 is pretty good to be honest as long as you know it's in good condition.

 

I'm going to ask to see it beforehand to be sure. Suppose £35 is not a lot for a screen
