I'm wanting to buy a smallish external monitor for my
laptop so as to have my screen space when writing code

I would prefer a very thin LED backlit model say in
19-22" size. Be nice to HDMI connector as well if
possible.

Any advice on monitors this size with thin LED
backlighting?

I haven't seen any LED external monitors yet. Just in many netbooks and
a few laptops. Are you thinking LED because because they last longer
than florescent tubes?

Googling for 19" led monitor I found that at least LG (E1940S), Acer, Asus
ViewSonic has such displays. Most likely "all" mfg's make them
