Monitor for max 8.5k

guys i am getting a monitor as my B'DAY gift :-D

suggestions needed upto 8.5k. want it to be good for gaming.

Jas try getting one of these:

1. Dell ST2210 21.5" LCD @ 8.4k
2.Benq 21.5" G2220HD LCD @ 7.5k
3.Benq 21.5" E2200HD LCD Monitor @8.6k

I suggest going for the dell. The g2220hd looks to be very VFM

Jas!u asking us for options??:C_evil:..Thats new!!

You may try Dell ST2220 21.5" LED. I got it from SMC for 8.8k but it should be cheaper now

go with DELL buddy.. as they have suggested.. either Dell ST2010 or 2020

thanks guys...which is a good monitor review site?

These days, I rely on user comments in sites like newegg, amazon. Many sites are now showing bias towards certain brands or going too tough on minute things.

Dell St2220 doesnt have HDMI

Samsung B2230 got a lot of positive feedback. i am getting inclined towards it..what do you think guys?

Guys now i am confused between DELL ST2210 and samsung one!:-[

how is SAMSUNG P2250 as compared to the above mentioned monitors guys?

go wid samsung one.. better picture quality, brighter..
n spec says too as it has hign dynamic contrast ratio

which samsung - P2250 or B2230....P2250 seems to have good public response..5/5 overall eggs in newegg as compared to B2230 (4/5 overall)

go with samsung P2250.. its really better dan b2230...

Better to check tech forums like this and others.
Too many n00bs on newegg etc

What abt AOC 2236Vw???
This LCD monitor is recommended by Digit Magazine.
According to them, its better than Benq G2220HD and Samsung SyncMaster B2230 and Dell ST2010(in gaming too)...

AOC is also a nice brand.. its giving 3yr warranty i think..

i dont like the design of AOC a bit... :-D

I dont know abt Dell ST2210 but out of other options Benq G2220HD is the best. It got very good contrast and brightness level.

go for dell atleast i cant trust benq.. they may be offering better contrast/brightness.. bt who knwz its life span.. it wud definately be less dan dell...
and dell has very good service and reputation too....

I had mailed itwares regarding P2250. If not then i am finalizing ST2220L. Or should i wait for dec collectors edition digit.

but jassy will you game on a 22" with your IGP? or someone gifting you a graphics card also?

Dont worry about gaming sammy. Just suggest monitors :-D

if you going for the Dell with HDMI, first inquire if the monitor comes with a HDMI cable. cause i seen many monitor manufacturers don't provide the basic cables only (Samsung in a few monitors, Benq E2200HD with no HDMI cable). else you'll have to run from shop to shop to get a HDMI cable again (if you prefer use HDMI).

just checked dell site and no hdmi dvi bundled :-(

only vga cable bundled

hows Benq E2200HD

N

its one of the best performer among your options.

its same as G2220HD. look good but sadly no HDMI cable bundled & its a bit over priced.

Jaskanwar Singh said:

hows Benq E2200HD

u will nt find HDMI cable with almost evry monitor.. u need to buy dat cable
it wil coz u arnd Rs150 only..

Theres a model e2220hd which we often talk. But heard e2200hd first time. And this is getting more confusing with models creeping up. What say guys?

maybe the 2220HD is LED. heres a review by Anand: BenQ E2200HD and E2400HD - 1080P FullHD LCDs

Led is E2222HDL AFAIK.

But sam thats 2008 review. So e2220hd might be new model of e2200hd

. DELL ST2220L is new. Not even mentioned on newegg amazon. No review? And i had mailed itwares about P2250 but no reply. :-(

E2222HDL yeah this one is LED.. bt its nt available in india..

here all LED model comes in V-series or G...
and in Benq LED V2220H dis one is best imo..

i want to finalize something now :hissyfit:

hello Mr Kai...i mean Jaskanwar...this thread has reached 2nd page..& still u haven't got
what u want.....
u must understand ur exact requirement....otherwise u will end up buying a crappy model.......

LOLZZ karan.. anyways my requirement is gaming and browsing mostly (the forum). but too many models are confusing me

see the revies this has..amazing - Newegg.com - SAMSUNG P2250 Rose Black 21.5" 2ms(GTG) Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 50000:1(1000:1)

Browsing.....cant be considered as for LCD..coz we can do dat very well in CRT also.....& ya gaming is the primary requirement of an LCD & also watching HD videos......

Let there be any number of models...in the swarm...
good models are BenQ(this one was not popular initially but has gain popularity now),Samsung(old & experienced player in monitors) & LG(the beloved one)
& the intermediate competitor DELL

look for the reviews of 8.5k monitors from the above models.....& make ur decision.....consider it as judgement day.....

+1 for DELL ST2220L....nice LED.....bt how much is the price.....???

8.7k is the price.

so get that dell.. it wud be a better deal...

K

Just now purchased DELL ST2220M LED @ 9k (local dealer in Mangalore)..
Amazing display!
Benq G2220 HD is thing of past. :
LED monitors are the way to go due to
1. Better contrast ratio
2. Better blacks
3. Consumes upto 40% less power than LCDs
4. Pic/Video Looks sharper than LCDs
5. Not strain eyes as much as LCDs

Go for it.. You might get it @ lesser price in metros.

But , cant believe this monitor discussion went 2 pages long !

M

Yeah for 22" dell seems to be the better option...but cant you spend 2k more and go for Benq G2420 instead?? Its like you are getting 2" bigger screen for 2k which is definitely worth it atleast for me...if you dont have a very strict budget

MnVn

^^Sorry budget is strict upto 9k.

at last smc listed ST2220L on their website..going to order :-D

...

^^ ok go ahead. congrats from my side in advance.

BTW my friend wanted order some pc parts for himself. he noticed the bank acc that was provided to him (Kotak mahindra bank) have balance in -ve. if you too provided with a KM back acc, first check or ask your dad to check.

"CASH DEPOSIT INCLUDING SHIPPING TO YOUR NEAREST KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK"

can you explain..i didnt get it :-D

...

^^ deposit the amount at Kotak Mahindra bank. inc shipping charges.

No buddy i asked whats -ve balance?

can't say. only once you in bank, they can check it. if its -ve in your case also, better talk to SMC once about the whole thing.

B

Benq 21.5" E2200HD LCD Monitor @8.6k my suggestion is this.its nice and according to your mind upto 8.5k. i think this is really better for you.

@bilallucky
thanks but i have got a DELL ST2220L. its a really nice monitor.
