Hi there, Can anyone recommend a very inexpensive monitor for my laptop? I am using my TV as a second monitor but I would like to add a regular monitor, so that I can use some extra add-ons like Little Navmap and Navigragh and Pilot2ATC. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Peter, what are you thinking with respect to the size of monitor?

Hi there, Maybe a 24" not to sure about the about the resolution.

What you might well end up doing is using that Bigger & better Monitor attached to your laptop as your main MSFS monitor, and let the other stuff like LNM, display on the smaller laptop Monitor ?

I assume your laptop may only get up to 1080P, so no point n looking at more expensive 2K or 4K monitors.

Maybe look at used monitors on Ebay, and see how they compare with new ones from your local Computer stores.

I had this 24" and loved it:

I replaced it with essentially the same thing, just 28"

Assuming you are in the US, if you just want a cheap monitor and are okay with lower specs you should check out any thrift stores in your area. Goodwill in my area usually has a few 1080p widescreen monitors for around 20 bucks.

Good way to try it out and experiment then upgrade down the line if you want.
