One has to admit this the prices of the LCD monitors have constantly been falling however in some cases even now I see there are differences in price ranges although the screen width is the same. I wanted to know from those who are well experienced to these things if paying a higher price for the same 22"LCD means we are going to get some additional features compared to the cheaper ones. If this gets cleared to me then I might think to get one for myself too. Some of the color laser jet printers have made me curious.

Hi Guys

I was thinking of buying Benq 2200HD. I will be using it for gaming mostly.
Can anyone staying in Mumbai tell me whether this model is available or not and where can I buy this from?

If you're going for full HD monitor for gaming then better make sure you graphic card is upto the task of handling games @1920x1080 resolutions. Anything below the native resolution would screw it up bigtime.

I have been enjoying a Samsung Syncmaster 2243NWX. though I have got some warranty problems as of now. Brought it for 12600/- in July 08 from Raipur. During Diwali, I was told the prices have gone up by Rs. 500/-. Now its the same because of the Re & $ differences.

Are you sure that SP2208WFP is FullHD - cause I'm using it and the max res for it is 1680x1050. Doesn't fullHD means 1080p?

1680 X 1050 is not full HD , then only BENQ E series has Full HD

buy benq E2200HD without a doubt it has been awarded the best monitor of this year by one international mag also dont remember name .

and its specs are truly gr8.

future proof as well. in my view better than dell.

BenQ E2200HD is a bluff!
MAN ur not getting 22' its 21.5' or so over it the aspect ratio is 16:9 this further reduces the viewable screen area

do a simple maths an multiply height and width to find out exact real state of ur screen!

realdan, go for Dell SP2208WFP - the best. I had bought it for 17k.
If you cant afford that much, try Dell S2209W ( I'm not sure whether its good- ask others). In fact I'm gonna start a new thread myself :)

Anyone knows about Dell SP2309W. It is on dell's usa site.

*accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Displays/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-7641

Instead of going for 21.5 isn't 23 is better.

And what is the use dynamic contrast ratio ?

I had bought the Dell monitor online. I had bought in the month of aug - last year. I cost me around 17k.
You can't find several models of Dell online - its better you call them and ask for those models with their current price.


I dunno much about that samsung2233sw model - but I won't consider anything other than dell.

My friend is about to buy a new monitor for his new PC - I'm thinking of sevaral options - but everything is within Dell.
As of now, I had got a quote for S2209W for 11.5k (from dealer in richie street)- If I'm able to get the Ultrasharp 2408wfp from US by some means, I'm gonna recommend him that - if not I'll see whether S2409w is good and cheap - if nothing works out then SP2208WFP - hands down.

Realdan, if you have nice budget go for Dell's Ultrasharp (don't buy the TN panel) - it's the best.

emmarbee, thanks for the info..well if one can buy from local then i might buy dell...gotta marched down to the street lining up with computer shops..
and guys any idea which shop in Calcutta deal in dell monitor?

oh as regard dell ultrasharp range...
UltraSharp monitors are designed to fit just about any situation and give you a comfortable viewing experience. Adjust the height, tilt the panel forward and backward, swivel it left-to-right, even pivot from landscape mode to portrait mode. The UltraSharp 2208WFP adjusts to fit your optimal viewing position. Four convenient USB 2.0 ports help you avoid the hassle of running out of USB ports on your PC or reaching around the back to access them.
is it just that or there are more to it?

Hey guys, good news Samsung 2233sw LCD monitor FullHD at Rs. 12,300.

Verdict

The Samsung 2233SW is available for Rs. 12,300 and comes with a one-year warranty. Add to that another 250-300 bucks you'll spend for a DVI-D cable. For this price and performance, the Samsung 2233SW easily beats the BenQ E2200HD, which also is a 22-inch Full HD monitor.

I have no problems recommending this to all movie buffs. Gamers, once again, you'll need a powerful graphics card if you want to play computer games at Full HD resolution.
