Looking to purchase PC monitor for 15000

I bought BenQ GW2470H . It's VA panel monitor. To be honest , it's a downgrade compared to the LG one w.r.t the colors. But the black levels and 2 HDMI ports(plus a VGA port) were a must for me. Cheaper IPS Panels tend to have some amount of light bleeding according to few ppl I spoke.

Note: Amazon first gave a replacement option of the same model but the seller sent a different model. Amazon then gave a full refund.
You have any advice on how to choose a IPS panel which have used good components and not cheap?

How much do you think we need to stretch out budget from 15k to avoid light bleeding or other such issues while buying monitor?

Check the monitor in person in a store and read lots of feedback from ppl who bought the monitor. You can also search in reddit for reviews/feedbacks. Unfortunately Indian tech websites and reviwers hardly make in-depth reviews of budget monitors.

I think as you you go higher up in price, Quality Control of monitors go up. It's not like you can't a good monitor around 15k or 10k. It's just that luck becomes a factor. Many forum members are happy with an LG IPS monitor that's sells around 10k. My cousin bought a Benq IPS monitor doe around 10k. Again No issues. Small amount of light bleeding will always be present IMO. Don't expect a Zero light bleeding. I would also suggest buying online like from Amazon because if the light bleeding is too bad and distracting like I had, you can get a replacement. Offline stores won't give this option. Also the replacement LG I got had very little light bleeding but was a slightly different model.

Thanks for the updates. I will wait for your review before making my decision final. Let us know if that light bleeding issue was distracting or not while playing game and watching movies.

@Stormbringer you too had same level of light bleeding or more than this??

I had more than this. It was as if somebody was pointing a flash light from the edges :D

The light bleeding doesn't seem to be bad. Looks like you got a good piece.

Tested the monitor rigorously with few games and movies. I am honestly in love with the monitor. The color is awesome and the light bleeding issue didn't seem problematic at all, even with few dark scenes, which was a major hindrance in my earlier Benq Monitor.
Overall extremely happy with the piece. Thanks for the recommendation everyone. Let me know if you have any particular query.

Which model did you get ?? Is it the latest model ? Looks like latest one Is Neo Blade III model. How do I check on Amazon if the one I am ordering is the latest one?

I would advise referring to the official LG Indian website. Sometimes sellers use fancy terms in product descriptions. I would also like you to know, when i bought the monitor , there were 2 versions with very light difference in features and model name. That was the wall mounting option. price difference was 5oo to 1k range.

I checked on LG indian site, it just say Neo Blade, not neo blade III but we can see this exact model name on LG US site. It is confusing. But I can find any difference between them anywhere.

Yes, the difference is 24MP88HM doesn't have VERSA mount and 88HV-S has. Is there a difference in quality too?

No difference in quality. The stand on non-vesa one was a bit wobbly which is why I had ordered for the VESA one.

Thanks for confirming dude. But sadly I too have ordered from Amazon even after knowing it might not be NeoBlade III cause I was running out of patience and Diwali is too far. It is the HV version. Hoping I get the latest model.

Make a video of the unboxing. focus on the packaging. Make sure you get a brand new piece. Amazon support has been good so far for me. I don't think you should be worried. How much did it cost ?

I will try to make the video. I paid 15699INR. I should have ordered on freedom sale when it was for 13k.
