A user has a HP xw 4600 workstation with a 17inch monitor. He needs a 
larger monitor due to the work he is doing. I glanced at the HP site and 
see some different sizes of monitors 
http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/store_access.do?template_type=storefronts&landing=display&category=display
which are 21.5�, 23�, 25� and 27 which range from 149 to 399.

1. Do we have to be aware of any compatibility issues when getting a 
monitor for the HP xw 4600 workstation? I mean is it required(or 
advisable) we get a 21.5�, 23�, 25� and 27" monitor from HP only or we 
can get a lower priced monitor from elsewhere.

2. Would a LCD monitor be a better choice due to the lower cost compared 
to LED monitor? I understand the dynamic contrast ratio is less than 
LED, but would that actually make a difference?

3. Any other factors I need to be aware of when purchasing a new wide 
screen monitor?
