I'm looking at this monitor and wondering if the 21.5" will be too small or is that about an average size screen? Can I save money by getting one without built in speakers as I will be buying a 5.1 speaker setup and won't need the monitor speakers. Any other recommendations?

ASUS VH222H Black 21.5" 5ms HDMI Widescreen 16:9 Full HD 1080P LCD Monitor Built in Speakers 300 cd/m2 1000:1 (ASCR20000:1) w/ SPDIF out - Retail

It will be used for general home use (web surfing, multimedia, light gaming). I don't want to spend the extra money on a bigger screen unless this is considered too small.

Thanks for the help! :)
