hi, got a few questions because im intrested in buying a new monitor ( i have 17" acer from 5 years ago...)

1) what is the best inch to buy which will be usefull for basically watching movies / series, but also for demanding games?
2)what is a good monitor to buy? i prefer the less expensive monsters, and a rather 19-22 inch at max

This doesn't exist sir. Watching movies under 24", I would even say under 26", sux.

T220 is cool but if you want one for gaming the only option is 120 hz lcd (2233RZ)
