Extend your budget to 11.5K and get the BenQ G2420HD.

If you can't extend then Dell ST2220L @8.8K or ACER S231HL @9.3K are your options under 10K.

Well besides creating a new thread I am asking mine here, I will buy a Monitor too, size 23-24", budget around 15-16k. I have considered these,

Asus MS246H, for it's awesome looking and 2ms response time is great too.
Asus ML238H, same one at 23"
Asus VK278Q, can anyone tell the Price of this one? IF budget fits then I'll go for this one.

Beside those monitors if there are any other good monitors available please tell me. I do not need 3D, and my main purpose is- Watching 1080p mainly and then gaming.

Thanks in advance.

PS- Considered Brands- DELL/Asus/LG, no other brands please :)

I'm considering the same (especially LED ones). Will buy within a week or two.

You can also consider Samsung PX2370 :)

Got a quote for ML238H from MD OTP -> 11,200 + TAX

Also if you get a quote for ML238H can you please reply back.

Hi all, i want to buy a widescreen lcd monitor. My budget is 7k and i like benq g2220 hd but it is not mentioned on benq website. Is it easily available in shops(kolkata) or very rare to find. What is other option as compared to benq g2220 hd.

Whether the above mentioned monitors are having nice viewing angles and no ghost image problems? I bought acer 20" VH model last month . When I don't sit in sweet spot area ,i.e, right in front of monitor it gives ghost images. :cryeyesout: I asked one of my friends and he said its common in LCD screen. He is using HP laptop and he also faces same problem with his laptop's screen. :sad: So should I sell this and get a new one or should I contact acer service center to replace my monitor ? :mad:

@pritamk I hope you are aware that your motherboard supports 1066/1333mhz RAM. I am not sure what happens if you get a 1600mhz. just something i stumbled upon while getting my rig in place.
