External monitor for Macbook Pro early 2008
Hi, I'm the owner of an old MBP early 2008, 15", MB134*/A or A1226.
The display doesn't work anymore so it's more convenient for me to buy an external monitor.
The MBP has a DVI port (and 2 Firewire ports but I don't know if they are eligible).
I'd like to have some advice about what monitor nowadays should I look for.
Moreover I'd like to know what mandatory technical characteristics should it have to work appropriately with my MBP (i.e.: what max resolution, what refresh hertz rate, if it has to be a 24" max and so on).
Should I look only for monitor with DVI or not?
Also advices for monitor not necessarily new are welcome (obviously monitor which have been put on the market not more than two or three years ago).
Thank you in advance,
Loris.
