Dell. Check this month's Digit.

There is one LG model that Digit gave best performer award!!! Check it out.

I would prefer Dell 248/2408 WFP and later models from Dell any day. I have Dell 198WFP and it's stunning.

i bought BenQ T2200HD 22" lcd a couple of weeks back. Its good. 1920X1080 native resolution. it costed me about 12,990 + tax. I played crysis warhead in full resolution(1920x1080) on it ,the picture clarity and details was awesome. coz of my graphics card 9400gt i cudnt play it smoothly.

What about Dell S2209W & S2409W and price,performance and availability in India? I think they are 1920x1080,1920x1200 respectively. I think S2209W should be the best value for money (my personal opinion). If it is somebody please help me where from I can buy it and for how much?

Surinder, you've mentioned "that money can buy" - it seems budget no problem for you. If it's so, go for Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP - else wait for S2409W/S2309(max res: 2048 x 1152 and NOT 1920x1080)/S2209 to hit the indian market.

S2209W is not on dell india site. Is it better than SP2208WFP. I checked for SP2208 at lamington road last week it was out of stock. I want to buy it. How much time it will take if i order it directly from dell.

They are already available for order at Dell. Call Dell customer care and check with them. I saw them in their online catalogue.

sorry. 2009 is there, not 2209. Anyways, call the toll free number 1800- 425- 4002 or Call 080-2510-8001 for availability of new models.

YA, I check that all before and still nowhere found that Dell S2209W.
If it will take too much time to going available in India what is the next best bet in 22"
full HD.

Thanks guys, I think its gone or dead.
BTW I got BENQ T2200HD in 11.5K for my friend yesterday.
Now looking for 24" 1920x1200 for myself under 15K. Because I believe games will appear even better at that resolution from 1920x1080 and I found some games don't support 1920x1080 resolution.
Any suggestion?

24" for 15k, I guess you have to wait for some more time to get 24" at that price point. Even though you get it, I bet it wont be as nice as the costlier ones - cause the manufacturers of LCD had mentioned that the prices of LCDs have been saturated - so the price drop will be nominal and no huge/ big price drop.
So you better go for SP2208WFP or wait for S2409W/S2309 as I said earlier. The reason for me insisting on DELL is I've gone crazy after owning the SP2208WFP (all because of its beautiful GLOSSY panel).

And about that resolution problem - you might have to sacrifice few games or get a regular 24" 16:10 monitor.

But i think all the new games will support 1920x1080 resolution...!!

Sorry guys I check with dell for S2209 and S2409. They given me 14.5K price for S2209 and 19K for S2409:mad:

And I used my friend's Benq T2200 as I assembled whole system for him and found T2200HD is a very good performer for 11.5K at this time.

I will upgrade for a 24" or 26" some time letter.

So I got one for myself as well two days ago along with logiteck Z5500.

Now I have to decide for input solution for Z5500 as onboard Realtek HD audio simply can't squeeze its full potential.

So should I go for creative XI-FI EXTREME GAMER for 6K?

Tell me best bang for bucks around 6K for it.

Man it is the same BENQ T2200HD which I purchased twice one for myself and other one is for my friend. It is performing well enough.

BENQ E 2200HD is 1K costlier has only HDMI extra and we don't need that as both of models have DVI as well.

Any Reviews outta there for this Model. Couldn't find much on google. Its seems to be benQ E/T2200HD's monopoly right now in the market.

24" ---> Dell E2408WFP 24"
Dude what about the price does it worth the premium you pay for VA panel over TN ?

My opinion

24" ---> DELL S2409W

22" ---> DELL S2209W tie with BENQ T/E2200HD.

At this point of time.

Totally agreed with you.

And save further 1k with BENQ T2200 HD (without HDMI but DVI is there) if you are on PC.
