For 7k go for Benq G2220HD. Its 22inch HD Monitor.
For around 6.5k you can get DELL IN2020M HD LED at 6.2k else Samsung B2030 at 6.4k.

Get a 22" even if it means overstretching your budget by 1k. You get full HD support at 22". For Dell, you can go for ST2220M. BTW, which Samsung model is that?

Higher resolution is always better. At full HD res you can actually work on 2 A4 size documents side by side, Photoshop just looks cleaner and so on. At 7k 20" is a bit pricier IMO.

For around 7200 INR you'll get the Benq G2220HD which is a very good monitor.

20inch LCD/LEDs are as low as 6k. You can get 20inch Models from LG and Acer for around 5.6k and 5.8k respectively.
Samsung and DELL are a bit more though.

Why dont you go to the distributer directly without buying from the dealer. Its will save you some bucks.

BTW 18.5inch i.e DELL IN1920 costs not more than 5.4k and 20inch HD LED i.e DELL IN2020M costs nothing more than 6.2k.
Also look for Samsung 20inch i.e B2030 available for 6.4k only.
But for 7.2k the Benq G2220 HD will be the best option.

So, whats the max budget for monitor?
If 8k then add 200-300 bucks more and go for DELL 22inch LED else for around 6.5k get DELL IN2020M or Samsung B2030.
