My 13 year old CRT monitor short circuited today. I do not have a video card.I am planning to buy a new monitor and I've heard led displays are really good.I have a pentium dual core e5700, a 450W power supply and about 1 GB of RAM. And will this one work with my cpu: Dell S2240L? And could you recommend me which one to buy? I am thinking AOC.

Most do. I've never run into one that doesn't, except for the ridiculously high end ones that make FHD look cheap.

LED (which is a misnomer; it's LED-backlit LCD. We don't call other ones CCFLs do we?) is a minor improvement in picture quality, and a moderate improvement in power usage. I'd suggest getting one, but really the cheapest FHD screen is my advice.

You'd need a converter from dvi/hdmi//whatever the monitor supports to vga...unless it has vga on it already. Your motherboard probably only has a vga out. It will work but it might lag on the higher native resolution, on some programs

Yes my mobo has only VGA out. But some backlit led displays have a vga port.Right? But I do not want true hd or something like that. I just want something that draws less power and gets the job done. I just check my e-mails,watch some videos on youtube,microsoft office,pdfs and that is all. So should I still go for an led?
