An year ago, I bought a Dell 24 inch U2412M monitor that I got on the recommendation of this forum.
I have loved it so far.
Now, I want to get another similar/better one.

Monitor Budget: around 15k-20k

Size: 24" and above. Ready for 27" too

Preferably with :

  • Matt display
  • Minimum bezels
  • Pivot to turn to portrait mode/adjust height
  • Any brand
  • IPS
  • 16:10
  • Greater than 1080p ? (may not be possible with this budget, but would like some options if anything is available close to the budget)


I promise to post pics, after I buy :)

Take a look at Asus 23 inch MX239H and LG 25UM65-P. The later has 16:10 aspect ratio and is very good for working with multiple windows simultaneously. The asus one has minimal bezel and is very stylish. Whats your main work on PC?

I am a developer and my main work involves IDEs and browsing articles and movie watching. Running multiple windows on the same screen has never been a big requirement for me, but I am beginning to consider it.
LG 25UM65-P seems to be 21:9...It is interesting, but I have to think about if I would like that. I am considering it now, so thanks for the recommendation.

Right now I am also considering Dell U2414H. Do you have any thoughts on that ?

It's nice. Two of those in portrait mode would make a lot of digital workspace.
