Ok, i am going for a LCD/LED monitor soon. I have the following models:
* Samsung B2030 20" (Rs.6500)
* Dell IN2020M 20" (Rs.6250)
(The prices are of the shops here in BBSR)
Which of these would be a better option.
Do you have any other better models under Rs.7000??
I will be adding a Grfx Crd later. So, suggest me accordingly.
Also are ACER monitors good??
Online search says that this very DELL model is actually a HD WLED monitor. Whats WLED??? How are they different from normal LED?? Are they better than Normal LEDs??
Plz ans them all and help me.

WLED is 'White LED' I think, it's basically a White LED (backlight) to a LCD Monitor. You should go with IPS panel monitors. 'LED' is imo a gimmick to selling, no monitor is 'LED', it's basically a LCD Monitor backlited by LED. :)

IPS Panel monitors are costly with price greater than 12k, i think.
I suggest you to increase your budget by .3k and go for Benq G2220HD @ 7.3k which is a 21.5 inch monitor and it is Full HD. You need a Full HD monitor for a great gaming experience.

The Dell IN2020M is not a full hd monitor (Its resolution is 1600x900 , i think). You said that you will be adding a graphics card later. So i think gaming or movie watching or some graphics works are your needs with the system. That is why we suggested a Full HD monitor and it really worths the money . The Benq G2220HD is the best option at your budget. If you have more money then go for Dell ST2220L @ 8.5k ..
Think and decide.
Best wishes

@OP: go for 20~21.5" monitors (LED) dat fit ur budget
but do keep this in feature:
1) DVI,VGA & HDMI ports should be there :-o
2) it shud be Full HD (i.e. 1080p)

dell st2220m is also great. hdmi is not required for pc usage. Dvi is more than enough and streams digital video signals exactly as hdmi connectivity. Only difference is dvi does not support hd audio streaming unlike hdmi. But thats not required for pc usage.
