Looking to purchase PC monitor for 15000

[Ronnie11]

So after 7 and half years of rigorous usage, my benq monitor has passed away. i am now looking for a monitor on an urgent basis.

1. Budget?
15000. Can extend it to 16000 if it is worth it.
2. Display type and size?
24 inch
3. What will the TV/monitor be used for primarily?
For movies and occasional gaming, also do a lot of office work, so should be easy on the eyes
4. Types and number of ports required?
DVI, HDMI is a must
5. Preferred choice of brand?
Benq, LG, Lenovo
6. Any TV/monitor in consideration?
LG 24MP88HV(Saw this in the other thread)
7. Any other info that you want to share.
Monitor is on for about 10 hours atleast daily.Looking for a durable one.

So it turns out that my graphics card supports display port as well. would prefer hdmi or dvi with display port as option. Also few dell monitors look good. any suggestions

Hey minion, Many thanks for your response. Few questions. How is the quality of the panel. Does it have any light bleeding issue. Is it worthwhile for watching movies and games

Panel is awesome with good colour reproduction and is bright I think this wouldn't have any light bleeding issue this is one of the best 1080p monitor LG offers

I am waiting for Diwali discount now. Last month on Amazon freedom sale it was on sale for 15.5k and extra discount on SBI debit/credit card, so it was coming around 13.8k I guess.

There is a chance for light bleeding . You will come to know only after you test it. I had bought the same model last year and had to return it due light bleeding. Not saying every unit will have it. Hopefully you will get a good piece. Be sure to check.

Thanks for the heads up.. Didn't realise it varies sometimes with the product.

Will test this on priority

Which model did you buy after returning this one?

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.
