I need a new monitor as my current Dell ST2210b has finally packed up on me.
The current monitor worked well as it has 3 inputs, vga, dvi and hdmi.

My cctv is plugged into the monitor via the vga port
My mac mini is connected via the hdmi port
My work laptop is connected with an hdmi to dvi converter into the dvi port.

Ideally i would like a monitor with multiple inputs so I don’t have to mess around unplugging cables and instead just select the input source.

Budget wise I would say £100-150 and size wise probably around 21/22 inch. The screen is used everyday with my work laptop now that I’m working from home for the foreseeable.

I probably swap source a few times a day, ccctv when I hear something outside and to the mac mini when I want to do some piston heads browsing, auto trader browsing etc etc.

I'd strongly suggest you consider a 1920x1200 screen as it gives noticeably more useful screen real estate over the usual 1920x1080 panel.

24" screen, 1920x1200, DVI, HDMI, VGA & DP inputs for £158:
