You have a choice of single VGA (connected by DVI adapter) a single HDMI/DVI or both VGA and HDMI/DVI. I find a single HDMI of around 22" Full HD is the most suitable. HD produces such a clear image that the advantages of twin screen are now all but lost. If you choose a TV rather than "monitor" you will also have additional sockets for Video/Audio in and VGA, plus a TV, so this screen can multi-task.

DVI is the more sturdy HD connector but has no audio. If you choose a monitor using this socket you will need an audio cable and probably speakers.
To confuse matters even further some monitors use DVI-D connectors which are slightly different to DVI. Adapters to HDMI are available.

NB. PC speakers now can be USB only connection. These do not work on S machines. You need powered speakers with headphone jack. Some speakers have USB for power + speaker jack, these work fine.

Life used to be so simple......... :?

If you decide on HDMI only, you must visit Media Manager and assign audio to the HDMI out of the newer units. I never knew this till recently advised by others as I utilize DVI in a 2 monitor set up.
