I want a new monitor, I can spend about 27$, what should I consider before buying it? It will be connected to an NVIDIA GeForce GT 620.

Ok, how old should it be at most? 2 years old? Should it have DVI or HDMI connection? or with VGA it's ok?

Age is irrelevant. What connections it should have depends on what connections you need.
DVI or HDMI is better than regular VGA.

What are you connecting this to?

As the OP has mentioned the first post he will be connecting it to a GT620.

Try to get a 1080P or atleast a 720P monitor with DVI or HDMI. Until the monitor is younger than 5 Years it should be fine.
