Display for mac mini

My (2007?) 24" iMac is showing signs of imminent falling over, so I'm looking to replace
it. Having got used to the 24" screen, I didn't want to downsize to a 21" iMac but I can't
really justify the expense of a 27" iMac. I've sort of settled on a Mac mini and was
wondering whether there were any recommendations for 24" screens that match the quality of
my current iMac?
Also, I've recently bought Logic 9 through the App Store - are
there any problems reinstalling/redownloading onto the new Mac if I go ahead?
Thanks,
Pete

Dell U2311H is the one that seems to most recommended

the new minis have HDMI output so either need a display that takes that or use a DVI
converter

Running a Dell 2311H off a Mac Mini here. Really good and no issues at all. Bob

They also have Thunderbolt, and
converters are available from that to various other connections: mine is hooked up to VGA,
at a cost of about £20.

You can
download from again from the app store to a new machine, better yet use Migration
Assistant to move apps and files from your old system.
