[Help Needed] Buying New PC Configuration

[vickybat]

@ srch07

Good purchase buddy. Post the pics after you get it. Directly contact dell and order the monitor from them. More info in dell website.

 

[srch07]

Why you worrying about pics, lolz... Drop by my home, when you come to bhubaneswar.
But strictly on Saturday n Sundays

I think there is no option to order Monitor on Dell's website yaar. Was checking yesterday, and any idea of Shipping cost they gonna put on?


What about Dell Shops in local?

 

[coderunknown]

@srch07, why not check for the monitor locally. for Dell's monitor, SMC offers the cheapest rate. i got my monitor for around 2k less than the price displayed at Dell's website, inc of carry charge.

also ITWares will charge around 500 as carry charge for the monitor. so my suggestion, check locally once before going for online buy.

@ srch07

Thanks a lot for the invitation buddy. I will drop by sometime definitely.

For dell, try visiting shops near sahid nagar. Nigam computers , targous technology, lalani it mall, sa infosys can arrange dell monitors.

 

[Cilus]

srch07, nice purchase buddy. Count me in to drop at your home... strictly on Saturday and Sundays.
Then we can have some really high level tech talk

 

[srch07]

@Vicky n Sam, thanks for the info.
Cilus, Sure buddy. No problem.

Btw, Cilus how is your experience with BenQ G2220HD?
What are the warranty, how is there customer service center n how is it etc.

Smc quoted me 7600 + 200 shipping for BenQ G2220HD, so i may go for it depending on the review of Cilus etc.

Btw is Dell ST2220L better than BenQ G2220HD? I know it is LED over LCD, still how much difference is there.

Oh ya, and call me Abhishek

 

[vickybat]

Abhishek, led screens will have a better contrast than their lcd counterparts. Its a general rule and is applicable for all led vs non led panels. The brightest to darkest ratio will be higher in an led panel whether edge lit or array lit.

I suggest you to stick with the dell one. Try some shop hunting in sahid nagar.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

DELL ST2220L is great screen for games or movies. i am satisfied with it.
and congrats

 

[srch07]

Jas, i know the service support of Dell and its products, its great.
But i rang up around 25 shops in BBSR today and most of them don't keep any Dell 22" monitors here.
Furthermore, it is out of stock at smc too.

Looks like i'll have to settle for BenQ shipping only. Waiting for Cilus or someone using BenQ monitor's Reply.

 

[Piyush]

dude did u call them?
if possible ask them to let u talk to Mr. Gurmeet
he can really help you
trust me

Always try to buy at the lowest price from your locality.

If you buy online in case something is damaged it will be a tough job to get it replaced .

 

[Piyush]

SMC is dependable from my experiences at least
there are n number of forum members satisfied with their services

and ya its our first priority that we should check our locality shops
agreed

 

[Cilus]

I have not seen the Dell one but after review from different forum members who own this display and different tech sites, I think Dell one is better than the BenQ one.

But If you want value for money, the BenQ one is one of the best of its category. I have purchased it couple of months ( I think almost 6 months now) ago @ 7.3K + Tax from Kolkata.

Right now the price is within 7K. Don't know why SMC is asking higher price.
I am pretty satisfied with the display. It is good for both gaming and movies. Watching Blu ray rip on it is really gr8 experience.

 

[srch07]

Thanks Cilus..
Now i think i can go for BenQ with eyes closed

Yup, i called Mukesh, he gave me his cell number when i mailed him with my infosys id
He said Dell one is out of stock and won't be there for a while now.

Dell seems unavailable in local shop here too.

BenQ has got service center in BBSR, so i think i can go for it.

 

[vickybat]

^^ Try getting some led backlit models from benq.

 

[srch07]

Nah, exceeds my budget, planning to spend not more than 8.6k-8.7k including shipping for monitor..
And i can have air shipping for monitor for 500 bucks

 

[ssb1551]

Hey sorry srch, have been quite busy for the past few days....Hey congrats on the online purchases!!You got a sweet deal on the RAM from deltapage.

And no there aint many shops, infact none, who keep monitors of Dell.I doubt you'll even find BenQ in BBSR.The only brands you gonna find are LG,Samsung,Asus.Its better to order online.But I think buying monitors locally is good 'cause its hassle-free if something happens to the monitor.Just imagine sending the monitor back to the online store you bought from.

Which cabinet are you planning to buy??

 

[vickybat]

Nah, exceeds my budget, planning to spend not more than 8.6k-8.7k including shipping for monitor..

I think they will fit in your budget just like dell. Give it a try. Actually in cuttack, i happen to know a shop that deals dell monitors.

Its axis computers and is located near samrat cinema(do you know the place?).

 

[srch07]

No Vicky, i don't know the place but maybe you can help me out with it.
Give them a ring and ask if they have the Dell ST2220L or they can arrange it withing 3-4 days and price too.

Also, i wanted to know HDMI or DVI or VGA, which port to use with HD 6850? :s

Its Ok ssb, no problem. Haven't settled on cabinet yet. But i guess any between 1k to 2k shall be ok, only care about good looks, nothing else.
After all am not gonna do boxing with the case lol. Oh yea and cabinet shall be well ventilated. Thats it

 

[Cilus]

srch07, You are in Infy buddy! ME too.Your name is Abhishek right? Mine is Suryasis
