Hello friends,
I had been quite busy with my photography so lost the track of hardware market.

Display in my 19" HPW1907 is getting black after 2-3 mins of pc booting. So its went for repairing.
But now i am thinking of a new monitor.

Budget: 10k--11k.
Size: 22 to 24 inch.
Purpose: Image Editing and Online game Urban Terror.
Special mention: Color reproduction should be natural & reliable.

Thanks.

I don't know how good TN panels are in terms of such work, but you may have a look at Dell's e-IPS panels. I am referring to U2211H and U2311H. Check out this thread: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=127148

It is about 2k over your budget, but it is worth having a look at, since IPS panels are much better the standard TN panel monitors you may buy.

In any case, all TN panel monitors are pretty much the same, look for Dell, Samsung or BenQ models. For IPS panels, I have linked you to the thread.

BenQ G2420 should be good and in your budget. Dell S2409W is also good. :)

Just make sure that response time is 2ms or 5ms. Not more than that because we play a very fast paced Quake 3 mod i.e. Urban Terror.

Hmm this is the point to consider for every gamer.
