    I am going to buy a display and i found this but want to have your opinion, which display you would go for and why thatr display is the best for me.
    I can not go over 18 inch and not below 15 inch as it needs to fit the location where i planed to put it up.

    Here is the links.

        Now, my opinion is, all of them will work. You need only a VGA to HDMI adapter.

          i just bought one off of newegg today for $33 plus a dvi to hdmi adapter. dvi to hdmi is cheaper than vga to hdmi. Also, if you have a microcenter close to you they usually have refurb monitors for like $35

          edit: I also picked up a small hdmi tv from the pawnshop for $30. You can also find some decent screens at the goodwill.

            Why do i need a VGA to HDMI adapter? As my RPI got HDMI and the controller board have that to as you see in the description of the screen.

            I dont have Newegg in Sweden so thats not an option.

              @wizz no, You don’t need VGA-HDMI adapter. Bigger, Better?

                    Was looking at this but about this? LCDs Normally White vs Normally Black as the bigger is normaly white and the smaller is normaly black ? Can some one explain if this is an issue using it for an Magic Mirror?
