Hi all,

I'm very confused with all these lcd monitors available in the market.
I'm looking for 22 or 24 inch (dell, samsung or lg), my budget is <16K

Mainly use it for watching movies and for gaming. Which one do you guys suggest, also can anyone guide me with what specs/options I should be looking for while buying an lcd?

Samsung 2233SW << Full HD

My opinion stay away from LG, choose 1 from Samsung or Dell.

T220 is not a great performer.

Dont go for T220, it has resolution of 1680 x 1050, that it means it's not Full HD.

Glossy frames r good. HDCP means High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. Mostly new LCD's have HDCP, its just a form of digital copy protection.

>Take a look at Dell S2209W.Full HD 1920x1080.9500/- i guess,read it in the forum itself.It looks good too
>Yes it is a distraction sometimes.
>HDCP means High-bandwidth Digital content protection,it is just a digital copy protection to prevent copying of digital audio and video content.Don't bother about it.
You need a good graphics card if you want to play games at that resolution.

Samsung. They look stylish and work great with great features built in to some models. Their new 'Series 6' selection is the greatest with the best possible HD and much more...
