Display what would you buy?

[ottobot]

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?
