I am looking for a cheap monitor for school and gaming and am wondering whether or not to get a 21,5 inch display. Should I stick with that or should I go with somwthing bigger like a 24 inch display?

This one is cool and cheap. https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Simple-Monitor-Glossy-S22D300NY/dp/B00IEZGZY8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486321047&sr=8-1&keywords=Samsung+S22D300

That one only has a VGA input, which can cause distortion at 1080p.

My 1080p display looks really bad with VGA, but maybe there's something else. Oh well, that's why I'm glad to have DVI and HDMI.

That's right, hdmi and dvi are way better than vga.
