I don't think that I will get any good 19" LCD @6.5K(with vat).
Dell is far more better than Samsung but Dell LCDs are over priced.....:(
But please suggest!

Revolution, u can go for Dell E 1909W LCD, will cost u 7.5k approx or if u can extend ur budget for 8k, then u can go for Samsung 2033. And I really don't think its a good idea to buy CRT these days.

Or if u wanna cheap LCD, then there is some model in Acer(with DVI port) for 6.5k. U can also go for that, if ur budget is low.
