Buying a Monitor

[acewin]

I was looking at this note. It should, and if it is not working then you have got a problem

Good to see HDMI provided along side DVI as it's very useful for external Blu-ray / DVD player connectivity. Sadly DisplayPort is missing which is becoming increasingly popular. Might have also been good to see an HDMI cable provided in the box, but we can understand why it's been left out from a cost perspective.

set top box is already a tv tuner.it is doing all the work receiving signal from dish,processing it & outputting video/audio just like a mini-computer.all you need is devices to connect to get video & audio.HDMI carries both video & audio so if monitor is connected through HDMI to set top box then monitor is receiving both video & audio.if monitor also has audio output then you can connect speakers to monitor audio output.you can also connect speakers to set top box directly if it has the matching audio output.forget about asus & dell ips below 12k.lg & samsung may have but then their quality may be an issue.

TFT Central

=========
there are jack for speakers -- in case of HDMI you need to check these
Special Features
2 x 2W integrated stereo speakers

So that you can play without any external speakers when you use HDMI - HDMI acts for both audio and video transmission

I don't care about VGA, DVI or display port for me HDMI should be there which lacks generally in dell monitors. I see some chinese adapters available to make HDMI to DVI or DVI to VGA for around 100-200 rupees. Do they work fine?

Thanks buddy! you helped me a lot. I'm still wondering why BenQ GW2450HM has so many features in such a low price? Is something missing that makes it cheaper? Should I go final with this benq monitor or wait for some other model till diwali to be launched under 12k?

it is able to play along with blu-ray players. LuLz , finally I put the exact words rather than copy pasting.

there is nothing wrong, there are dell monitors as well with similar config like
DELL ST2420L 24" Full HD LED

ok! I have not any blu ray player but it is good to see that it is compatible with that too. How would you compare Dell ST2420L with benQ GW2450HM? Which one is better?

ok oint here is blu-ray or DVD players provide both audio and video, it is able to play with them means HDMI port in benQ model transfers both.
Dell product is good except it does not have in built speakers.
so in this case even if u put HDMI u will need to plug-in speakers separately to your PC

Unlike DVI, which only transfers video, HDMI transfers both. using HDMI means you wanna transfer both through one port.
In case of Dell which has got HDMI, HDMI can only be used for playing videos but with no audio
I hope things are clear now.

I know this man I already have HD DTH which run via HDMI on my LED TV. I just asked to make it clear that it will work fine with this monitor. I got your point that Dell ST2420L has HDMI port but no in-built speakers or audio jack to connect it with external speaker system so if connect DTH it will behave like mute TV lolz. Here now I want to know the image quality of Dell ST2420L if we compare it with benq.

dell ST2420L is TN.it is their U(ultrasharp)series which uses ips & considered good by review sites like tftcentral.

edit:found this from lg & looks good.

If it is TN display it will be definitely worse than BenQ GW2450HM which is made of VA panel.

true in a way you can say that
