Looking below features:

  • Good color gamut.
  • Available in flipkart or Amazon
  • Support for watching 3D media. (Optional, Not sure if 3d monitors in 2022 are good enough for watching 3D content at home. Wants to watch 3d movies with those red and blue glasses :smile:)
  • Wall-mount (Optional)
Replacing my Samsung Syncmaster px2370 23'' monitor as it has dead pixels block in corner and Samsung technician wants to replace panel which is almost same price as new Monitor itself. :unsure:

LG 24GN650 for 15.5k. Try to use the card discounts for further savings.

3D is kind of dead. Use VESA 100x100 mount to wall mount.

For DVI port - use converters
Ideally, try to connect the monitor to PC using DP, your GPU will have that.

Thanks @omega44-xt

Found it in amazon (Please confirm model 24GN650-B.ATR) :
*www.amazon.in/LG-Ultragear-Gaming-inch-Full/dp/B09T354DQ8

With SBI card discount of up to 1500rs, it looks good option.
Also, any suggestion of good quality DP cable that I can buy online for my GPU ? (Zotac GTX 1060 6GB AMP Edition)

Got my Monitor today and yes cable was included in box.

Monitor looks good and also color output is much better compared to my samsung monitor. I noticed that Windows fonts are slightly pixelated, not sure is it normal or something is wrong ?

Pixel density is lower than your 23" 1080p old monitor. You will get used to it.

I didn't notice 24" 1080p to be bit pixelated until I changed my main monitor to 27 1440p.
