New monitor queries

[Ironsoldier]

Hello People!

Looking for a new monitor. Right now I have a Samsung monitor which has a resolution of 1920x1080 but only a vga connector. *Syncmaster B2230* I have it connected to a sapphire 7970 OC.

I am looking for a new monitor so I can watch blu rays on it and hopefully for a better picture but I got a few questions.

This is the monitor I am looking at-> This one

I can't afford an IPS screen and the new one has to be 24inch with a speaker or audio out...*i'll explain later. Budget is around £160. I do a bit of graphic design but mostly gaming.

1. Since I have a stand alone blu ray which only has a HDMI output I was wondering if I connect it to the monitor above will the speakers would work fine on it? *This is why I want it to have speakers or audio out. So I can watch my blu rays with sound.

2. Would I be able to see a difference between 2 monitors with the same resolution but with a signal coming from 2 different cables? One HDMI and one VGA. Leave out the LED stuff in this scenario.

*Note if the monitor has audio out via 3.5mm jack or usb then i'll have my own headphones to use with it

Why does it have to be 24 inch?

You can get very nice 23 inch IPS screen for cheaper than that?

Well every time I go around to my Mums to sort stuff out on her PC I look at her 24" and think: 'That is the perfect size'. Also I would rather have a larger screen for when I watch the Blu rays.
