Which external monitor for MacBook Air?

I have a 13" 2012 Macbook Air and want to buy the best monitor I can for my budget, which is around £175. It only has a lightning adaptor.


I've just started a 2 year masters degree and will be doing a lot of working from home, so would like the best quality/size I can afford.


Any personal recommendations?


Thanks in advance!

MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

Actually it's called a Thunderbolt port, and you can use any monitor with a Thunderbolt input. You can also purchase an inexpensive Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter, and use any monitor with an HDMI input. There are many more of them to choose from.
