What's the best stand-alone screen to buy?

Hi. I'm trying to buy a larger screen for my laptop so that I can see videos and games in some detail. I'm finding it hard to search for such screens because I don't know how to make my searches bring up only "add-on" larger screens, as opposed to larger screens that are part of a computer. I don't need the computer part, just the screen.

Thanks for any ideas.

Greetings. All that would be available is external monitors for laptops, we don't sell replacement screens or larger screens that would fit into your laptop.

Thanks. That's what I'm looking for then. I guess there are a variety of those. Although I'm wondering if the stand-alone screens are any cheaper than the TV screens? Maybe I should just get a TV screen and send my video output to it?

Depends what you're looking for. Did you have a size of screen you had in mind?

Probably around 48 inches in width.

Are you looking for a flat screen or curved? Did you have a budget in mind?
