Hi guys,

Looking to buy a new FHD monitor for my PC, main purpose is to watch movies, complete some office works and coding. Also very light to no gaming.

One option i would like to have is the ability to use it as a tv, i heard if my STB and monitor has a HDMI port then i can achieve it, so guys please suggest.

I don't think you will get any FHD monitor for 7k

you only get 15-19" monitors with 1360x768 resolution tops.

save up more and get the monitor that you need for 9k

I have the same. you get 1 HDMI with sound out via a 3.5mm socket and a VGA port.

Cons. no volume control for the sound out

very good for movies and drawing, not so great for text.

VGA output is not so clear on this. I have tested with multiple cables and computers - You will have to use the sharpness feature of the monitor to make things look less fuzzier.
HDMI is perfect. I use my ps4 on it with HDMI
