I'm looking for an LED Monitor 22" for budget under or around 8k.

I would be mainly be using it for watching movies and regular browsing stuff. I'm not much into gaming.

So what are the available options. Also I found in some threads things like HDMI, DVI etc. Can someone provide some details on the same?

When I checked at nearby store I found the following models available.

AOC 20"
Rs 6250

Dell 2020 M
Rs 6650
20"

viewsonic 22"
Rs 8500

Not sure about the model numbers for AOC and viewsonic.

From whatever little bit of research I did I found this model also quite popular, Dell- ST2220M

I'm planning to buy this for my birthday. So kindly reply as fast as you can. Time is running out. :)

Guys I would use this mostly to watch movies and maybe hook up TV tuner card. Do you think I will have issues if I'm not watching it straight. I observe with the LCD monitors that if you have an angled view it will not be that good!

^^ viewing angles are not a problem anymore. They have improved a lot. Especially tn panels suffer but they have drastically improved.

yes. viewing angle is a bit of a problem for LCD monitors. Those with IPS panels are much better.

Need help from you guys! New to LCD Monitor. I see a CD with the monitor. What is this used for? I don't see any product guide in the CD. Do I need to install the drivers etc to get FULL HD?

I got it. In the instructions guide its ask me to make changes in the setting to
1920*1080. If I don't have that option then I need to install the CD I Guess.

Ya. Watch Blu-Ray Rip movies. They are 1080p standard. Sizes should range from 2.5-4GB or more.

If I watch a HD movie with lesser resolution selected as compared to 1080p what would be the difference? Can I make out the difference?

yes you'll see a difference, but only if the movie res is very low compared to the monitor res.

How do I check the video resolution for a movie file? Say a 700 MB Rip.
