Both are good but AFAIK some connectivity options are changed, other than both are good ones at this range.

G2220HD is a 16:10 Aspect Ratio Full HD display and the panel is TFT LCD

ST2220L on the other hand is 21.5" 16:9 FullHD display and the panel is LED backlit LCD.

among the two, ST2220L is much better. (review by Jaskanwar: DELL ST2220L Review)

also check ST2230L which is 23" display adn costs around 10k.

:shock:

benq G2220HD has a 16:9 aspect ratio get ur facts right before suggesting something u could check the specs CLICK HERE
better than getting a G2220HD get samsung B2230 it has 70000:1 contrast ratio and is available for 8k or if u want a Led u could go for dell ST2220L

and you lush on 70000:1 contrast ratio? anyways, my bad. it's 16:9 but the problem is the aging TN panel. G2200HDL I think comes with LED backlit display and guess what the contrast ratio is :D

go for ST2220L as it suits your budget and picture quality and life time will be definitely better than benq monitors

Don't go for either the Dell ST2220L (~8.5k) or the ST2320L (~9.7k). Both have very poor reviews regards to color reproduction, contrast and backlight bleeding.

The Benq G2222HDL will be your best bet under 9k.

Read trusted reviews from CNET, PCAdvisor and other sites that are known to do monitor reviews all the time.

Don't go by the reviews of some random member who might have bought the monitor. Obviously, someone who doesn't have any other monitor for comparison's sake or haven't seen a better monitor than the ST2210 will tell you how great it is but trust me you can get far better monitors for the price of the ST2210.

Better still, go to an electronics store having all these monitor in display and compare the picture quality of the ST2210 or the ST2310 with similar models in its price range and you will see the difference.

dell p2211h is another good monitor for 7.8k. it is led backlit and dynamic contrast ratio of 2 million : 1. it has built -in USB hub and its stand is also very good (has height, tilt, swivel) . real vfm at that price.

no it doesn't have HDMI but has dvi. (cable comes for free) has built in USB hub and the stand has swivel, tilt and height. screen has matte finish so no reflection on the screen. it's a vfm. btw there is only one difference between HDMI and dvi that HDMI also provides audio output. no difference between display quality. but then you can always attach dell soundbar to the p2211h which has speaker and also headphone Jack.

Dude I can't find the dell p2211h anywhere. Where did you get it? This model certainly is rare.

no other monitor in the sub 8k segment has better display than dell st2220l. and no other monitor in that range has better flexibility and productivity than dell p2211h. forget about what others say. just believe in yourself. see the specs and decide yourself.

Hi to all!

If you actually wish to enjoy the full HD in your Computer monitor, then "LG's E2060V 20" slim glossy black LED monitor is the best option, provides the 1080p Full HD picture. And comes somewhere in your budget also, cost around Rs 8000/- only.

And for brief about this LG's LCD monitor, Plz follow the link:
Digital Star Computer - Detail

Hope this will be affective....!

every monitor we've talked about here provides full HD and is indeed larger than the one you suggested.

If you go for the Dell ST2220M or L, you will be sorry. You don't have to take my words for it but I have actually compared the display of the Dell ST2220 and the Benq G2222HDL side by side at a shop which had both on display and the Benq model's color reproduction and viewing angles are vastly superior. Dell's color look washed out, brightness levels and gamma are all whacked even at the best possible settings. According to the reviews it also has backlight bleeding but I couldn't confirm that at the shop for obvious reasons.

I find it funny how people keep recommending the Dell ST only because they bought it. C'mon man, have you even compared that Dell to any other monitor in the 8k range? Even Asus monitors can beat that Dell monitor hands down.

Note: I am not talking about the Dell P2211H model. Its Dell's professional series model and is obviously much better than any of the other choices mentioned here but its also quite expensive, around 11k I believe.

@nginx: haha not really! I bought dell p2211h for 7.8k this month and not for 11k. woohoo! such great difference in the price.
