Hi folks, I have a Sony VAIO Fit 14" laptop with a 1600 x 900 resolution display. I am looking to buy a monitor to use when I am at home with the computer. I am mostly interested in multitasking with and without media, as well as taking full advantage of the computer's Blu-ray player. Would it be worth it to buy a 1920 x 1080 monitor? My budget is no more than $150.
