Hey folks , need a budget monitor in the price range ~ Rs 5000 . any suggestions are much appreciated.


1. Budget = around 5000 (lower the better)
2. Display type and size - IPS , 18- 20 inch
3. What will the TV/monitor be used for primarily - entertainment and work
4. Types and number of ports required - HDMI/ DP
5. Preferred choice of brand - Any reputed brand which offers 3 year warranty
6. Any TV/monitor in consideration - Samsung 18.5 and LG 19.5
7. Any other info that you want to share - no

I need to choose one this week, so guys please provide your suggestions.

Points to look out for :

1. screen size at least 18 inch
2. IPS only (will be user for movies and work)
3. VESA mount support must
4. VGA is fine but anything extra is welcome
5. Reliability should be good as i plan to use for at least 5 years

I need to choose one this week, so guys please provide your suggestions.

@bssunilreddy AOC monitors have poor reviews in India , not sure if its because of their service or the product quality. And the model you mentioned is discontinued . Can you suggest something else please .
