I haven't heard of monitors with cameras, but I don't really keep up with monitors, so it is definitely possible. Either way, any monitor you can connect should work, much like most any keyboard or mouse will work. I'd just go to newegg.com and look for a cheap monitor, preferably with HDMI or Thunderbolt as that avoids the need for adapters. If the cheapest is VGA, though, you can do what I did and pick up a Mini Display to VGA adapter, which connects to the thunderbolt port on one end and accepts a VGA cable on the other.
