    I need a good external monitor for my XPS m1530- preferably something that can retain its resolution (i have 1400x900) or higher obviously. Also what is a solid, safe, professional looking, bag I can use for the 15.4 unit. Also the bag I'd prefer to have enough room for the pretty big power block as well as a book, notebook, calculator, college stuff, etc- but not a backpack.

    The monitor- I really want something that is reasonably priced but has decent reliability.
    Bag- the price isn't as much an issue.


    Thanks in advance everyone!

    Consider the Kensington Contour messenger bag.

    What kind of budget do you have for the mointor? Do you have a preference for screen size?

    Dell makes some affordable widescreen monitors such as the E228WFP and/or E248WFP.

    Those dell's are actually what I was considering- that's what I figured was a good bet. the 1680x1050 was probably all I'll want.
