Dell SPE228WFP.

Besides SP2208 has been discontinued, so call up Dell and check if 2209 and 2409 are available or not.

2409 should come around 17K because its US price is equal to SP2208.

My reco is for Dell SP2409

Dell for sure
atleast they are better than Samsung ones in price/performance.
SP2208 is good monitor with huge addon functionalities , is real good and has 2ms response.

^^ well Samsung's too hv the same 2ms response time..so not much of a diff from DELLs.. but yes, i agree that DELLhas added functionalities..(wich the Samsung lacks in higher size LCD monitors),

so +1 for DELL..(in terms of added functionalities)
+1 for Samsung in terms of looks..

offtopic: im a Samsung SyncMaster 19" LCD user.. : D

how is BenQ E2200HD for gaming?

^^Only if you have a powerful card as its a Full HD LCD. Correct me if I am wrong.

BENQ E2200HD Is better i think because its full HD 1920 x1080 in 21.5 Inch screen there fore the pixels are tightly packed so clarity will be good and it has built in speakers , and various inputs like DVI, HDMI , DSUB And the price is very low as thirteen thousand approx .
