Hi

I am going to buy a new monitor within 2-3 days.Mainly use it for gaming on XBox and with my PC.
Budget is 10K.

Is it possible to connect both XBox and the PC to the monitor and just switch input.Right now I have to manually connect the cable everytime.

Thanks

Get a Monitor with both HDMI & DVI capable & you are done. Switch inputs by selecting the input source from the OSD.

IMO :

1. Benq E2220 22" - 8,500.00

2. Benq G2220HD 22" - 7500.00

3. Benq V2414 24" - 11k

4. ACER 243HL 24" Led Monitor - 12k [Best if you can get]

Benq G2220HD doesn't have an HDMI port.How about G2420HD.

Could not find the Acer monitor you mentioned.Any link?

Primeabgb has it, but the price seems high to me.

Acer is out of budget.

Thinking of buying Benq E2220HD or G2420HD.
