Hi All,

I want to buy a monitor in couple of days. I look for following features.

1) Screen size > 23inch
2) LCD/LED
3) Inputs - VGA/DVI-D/HDMI(all 3 are must)
4) USB-Optional
5) Resolution - Full HD (must)


Suggest me a suitable model with price.

Thanks to all in advance

I have identified following models.

1) LG M23WA
2) Samsung P2370MS

Which is good among the two? Is there any other better option

Also inform if Samsung P2270HD is available in India and at what price

Dell Ultrasharp U2311H is the best panel in that budget. It has everything u mentioned except HDMI..

I would say go 4 Samsung as it has lot many connection options also the colours and contrast are surreal. I think its the same 'Konect plus' monitor right?

Yes you are right, Sammy is the same Konnect plus monitor. About Dell U2311H absence of HDMI does not matter. But it does not have AV-IN, that means I cannot connect output from my DVD Player or STB directory to monitor, and hence it fails there.

Went to Croma and found Samsung P2370MS without remote for Rs.15000. LG was not available.

Can I use 32 inch TV with VGA-Input as monitor and is it practically good to work with?

wow nice buy P2370MS is nice panel and it is actually monitor TV from samsung i.e. it is a computer display panel as well as a normal TV. 13.5K is a decent price for it. Though U2311H is best display in the price range.

I highly recommend this monitor as well to anyone else reading this topic. The composite ports at the rear let you connect consoles such as the Xbox,Wii,Ps3 e.t.c ; hell, you can even connect Set-Top-Boxes,DVD players and everything except women, and the remote controller is simply icing on the cake.

No i don't think so. This computer connection to TV has shown many problems with many people but since monitors are designed for computer use, it should not cause any problem
