I'm looking to get one of the 22" LCD monitors below :

Sadly I have a W3J which doesn't have DVI output, but only VGA...I am currently not using any external display, my question is...is it worth getting one? Or will VGA's quality drawbacks compared to DVI be too much to waste the money on a new monitor? Or is there a way I can allow my W3J to have DVI output (not a tech wiz obviously)? Or is it worth it to invest in a laptop that has DVI output aswell? Seriously considering swapping my w3j with a A8Js or something.

Also, which of the four monitors should I go for? Spec-wise AND price wise, the Acer seems to have an edge with 800:1 contrast and 300 cd/m2

I've been downloading shows/movies in HD aswell, will I be able to enjoy it connecting via VGA!? Or will it just be like it is now on my laptop? What I'm saying is, will I be able to view things on my computer in HD through VGA? HD is just a resolution right :p

Advice would be greatly appreciated!
