Are LCD computer monitors still good or is there something better now?

My CF-31 Toughbook pc has a Sun microsystems 19" LCD monitor connected to the external HD15 port, but it's a bit big for the new desk space I have, so looking to downgrade to a 17" unit.

What's good and what's not? Should I consider something different? Do computer monitors now come in oled style like LCD TV's?

Needs to have a HD15 port for input as I can't do HDMI.

Desktop monitors have already been in OLED for a few years now, and even some with MLED albeit rare and expensive. LCD is good if it's LCD/LED hybrid and has IPS or VA panel (TN is only good for competitive gaming where low response times and high refresh rates matter, but otherwise is crap). However it's still better to go for OLED or MLED if you want color accuracy, low response times, high refresh rate, and high contrast/saturation. For LCD, you can't have it all but they're more affordable than OLED and MLED.

Pretty much every single monitor from the last 5 years come in either HDMI, DVI, or DisplayPort, maybe some even in USB-C. And I checked what HD15 is and that's VGA which is a dinosaur I/O port that nobody uses anymore, except maybe for projectors. You pretty much have to go for something from like a decade ago if you wanna settle with VGA for a desktop monitor. I do agree with you that HDMI isn't that good. There might be some enterprise monitors that offer VGA for backwards compatibility, but be prepared to pay a lot to get them lol.
