Hey guys, planning on getting a good gaming monitor(1080p) to replace my V173W...
Budget 11k(12k max.)...

I was looking at,
Samsung P2350

Asus ML238H

On seeing the specs, Asus ML238H looks better...
Which one to get? Any better options?

Buy BenQ G2222HDL @ 8K - 8.5K & use the remaining money in buying another 2 gb ram & one more 500gb drive.

Or You Don't Buy Monitor Instead you buy a graphics card.

Chose LED monitor-
Advantage-
1)Slimmer Size
2)Better viewing angle
3)Fast response time

but check this model Viewsonic VA2431wm bagged best buy in digit magazine under 24 inch category.

Viewing angle in Benq G2420HD is pretty bad.

Actually viewing angles are not a personal problem for me, I can always adjust the direction of the monitor, but that extra 1 inch of screen space is hard to ignore.

Your requirements may vary for sure. ;)

Get the Asus ML238H display. It was there in the Asus Power User event and pretty good display it is. There is another model ML238H BK, available @ 10.76K in lynx-india. HAve a look at it.

At this price range, Samsung S23A300B LED is avail. but has poor specs compared to the Asus ML238H

Thats the same model i guess, to mention black they must hav added BK...

Both Asus ML238H & Samsung S23A300B are 23" but the pixel pitch is 0.2652mm is Asus & 0.282mm in Samsung, which makes the asus ml238h produce sharper image than the Samsung S23A300B...
Is my point of view right??

Just wondering, are the ASUS monitors PITA? (warranty and RMA procedure), compared to Samsung. I've had pleasant experience with Samsung

Pixel pitch isn't the only thing that defines a monitor, I saw a bunch of asus monitor the other day during the power meet, none of them looked as good as Samsung, IMHO.

Then i have to inspect them in showrooms...
Does elec. stores like Croma, Ezone, etc. hav monitors in display?

Got quote from a local shop,
G2420HD - 11.2K
ML238H - 11.7K
P2350 - N/A...

LCD vs LED

Is a LED monitor better for eyes than a LCD ?

In the above threads, they hav said that the CCFL LCD is better than WLED(which are avail within 15k range)...
