^^^ cud u give me the specific model no for this Samsung.
as of now i've brought a HP vp15s from my vendor for temporary usage untill i decide on which monitor to buy.
the overall display quality of the Hp vp15s is gr8.i love it and its far better than my VA1912wb.the only prob is its 15".
now i want my new monitor to hav display quality like this HP vp15s or like display of my new Compaq C739TU.
my vendor is suggesting me to buy LG but i dont wanna buy LG.it has too many probs.
how does BenQ fare against HP?
my budget is 100-11k max the lower the better.
the monitor sud hav dvi port (this is a must) and HDCP wud be a added bonus.
so plz suggest accordingly.
do not suggest Dell as i dont think i wud be able to get it.
thnx.

I have the vx1932wm :p so I know what suffering is..

still I would say vg1930wm and vx1945wm would be a good buy :p only the vg1930wm would come at Rs. 9200/- + TAX :)

^^^ the VA1912wb had backlight bleeding probs.also sometimes it wudnt display anything when connected thru dvi.
also do Compaq and HP lcds hav same display quality cuz price of Compaq lcds r far less than those of HP.

I had both Samsung 940BW & Benq FP92W 19" ws. It's a great performer, can be compared to Samsung 940BW but only drawback is, it doesn't include the DVI cable in the package.

^^^ DVI cable....i hav that.i kept the DVI cable from the VA1912wb and sold it only with the D-Sub cable.

and support ?? didnt they replace it ?? as if possible do read this :) *www.chotocheeta.com/2008/01/22/qui...onic-vx1945wm-19-hd-widescreen-with-viewdock/

i didnt go for support in the 1st place cuz i knew they wud make an issue out of it and it wud take 2-3months to get the replacement.:mad:
so i had made up my mind to sell it off.;)

I want to tell you i have done a lot research in lcds..when i was screwed up buying the rubbish viewsonic lcd va1912wb.
I would like to say that just close youreyes and go for samsung 940BW or samsung 920NW.The latter lacks dvi.
or you can go for glossy samsung 17".
I dont think glossy samsung is available in india for 19"
