External Display Options with Macbook Pro

[ipodrocker]

Hi i have a macbook pro, but found i need to use an external display as i work long hours at the computer.

my question what is the best option for me?

1) get a 23" display and connect to the laptop

2) get a mac mini and a display and then mount the laptop


i dont have a budget in mind so any suggestions or type of setup to use would be great.

thanks

A budget is going to be helpful for suggestions. Why do you need the Mac Mini?

dell and hp make great monitors that are much more affordable than apples...

 

[ipodrocker]

so what would be better an HP or DELL?

It depends, what is your budget?

 

[ipodrocker]

for the display i would say around 450euro
