Samsung makes good LCDs and should be your top choice. By the way, which Samsung model are you looking at?

Dont buy Acer, afaik the 9999 Rs Acer model has a 23 ms response time :|

Go for the Samsung one, the best in the business ,510n is the 15" model from them.

Since monitors are not what you would upgrade very often, buying a better one comes in handy.

Good choice , but i just had a look at CMV and they are coming out with brilliant lcd's at amazingly cheap prices. Check those out as well. Also, frankly i found the clarity to be better than my Samsung syncmaster 152S.

CMV? are u joking? Buy CMV if you want to buy a new monitor within a year... have u set ur monitor at the native resolution i.e. 1024x768@60hz?

152s is a pretty old model.. the new one is 510n..

Ok do this. Observe all three monitors side by side and then decide which one is the best ;)

I feel a crt monitor is better..........the ones that i have seen see to be better in crt, even the samsung crt's are giving better resolution at the end of the day.

And mr mail2and regarding your query on cmv.........
regarding CMV being bad quality i did meet some people who are selling cmv and other brands in singapore and malaysia, they told me its not the same quality as your sony, or phillips but they definately are catching up and for the price they have some decent models. I dont know if they are all available in india.

i inquired in India and i have seen one of them... they are average at best... nowhere close to Samsung or Viewsonic or LG

The monitor is working fine. the picture quality really gud. And with a response time of 16 ms (4 ms less than its lg counter part) the games also run perfectly.

So I am really happy with its performance :D
