Ideally, the monitors should be able to support the same resolutions and have similar height-to-width ratios (e.g., 16:9 or 16:10) to avoid distortion, but you don't have to worry too about having the exact same models, response times, or anything like that if you are not using both of them for gaming.
For example, I have a 23 inch Acer and a 22 inch Hans G, both of which support 1680 x 1050 resolutions. They work perfectly for multi-tasking.

no you can mix and match monitors, what current monitor connections do you have on your graphics? just make sure the monitor you buy has the connection that is available on your graphic card availbe on your monitor.
