So I got a new Desktop Computer (Dell Precision 380) and a Monitor: HP2159v, a 21.5" Full-HD monitor, it's perfectly fine, nice picture quality. Downside - the only connector is VGA, no DVI, no HDMI. I'm happy with whatever I get since I've exclusively been using laptops for 6 years now.
This config got 1920x1080 resolution going for me:
