I have an early 2011 13" base MBP and I would like to buy a 20" monitor for it. The reasons why that I want 20" monitor are:
1. Higher resolution.
2. I don't have any room on my desk for a monitor thats larger the 20".

I have a few questions also:
1. Which monitors should I look at out of Dell, Acer, LG, or Samsung?
2. Does the screen on my MBP have to be up to use the new monitor? If it has to be close, will my MBP overheat?
