Suggest me good monitor for my desktop

See the option with HDMI is that you can use the monitor as a TV by using a HD DTH connection. Of course audio output will have to go via
audio out to separate speakers but this is one additional feature to have.

You can get a nice HD PCI-e card and connect to the monitor using either HDMI or DVI-D for a digital experience.
My setup is connected via DVI to a Geforce 8500GT.

Btw the Dynamic Contrast Ratio (DCR) doesn't matter. What you should be looking at is the actual brightness of the panel
The BenQ G2420HD has 300 nits (cd/m2) and GL2450HD is 250 nits. The response time of GL2450 is 5ms. 2420HD is 2ms G2G.

The GL2250HM has a 2ms reponse time (faster than 5ms) this is crucial if you are a gamer, has a lower dot pitch. All in all
if you don't need the higher screen real estate (21.5" v/s 24") no harm in going for the 2250HM.

I am not getting any younger and already have an older Acer 22" AL2216W, so the 21.5" would have been a downgrade for me.
The difference is approx Rs. 2000/- between the 21.5" and 24" so I would advise to go for a higher sized panel if you can
afford it.

This is the post that prompted me to go for the BenQ http://www.erodov.com/forums/samsung-p2350-vs-benq-g2420hd-one-buy/29739.html#post415821

@Zerosleeping Looking at the specs, it seems GL2450 is better than G2420HD.

What I quoted was the static contrast ratio. the dynamic contrast ratio would probably be something like 50000:1 or its whereabouts.

Sorry for not responding earlier. Was travelling visiting my other home.

The GL2450 does look good and you are getting a LED instead of a LCD.
You are adopting a later technology. Only issue is that this monitor doesn't
have a HDMI port and has a 5ms refresh rate. It isn't a deal break if you
don't play FPS games. If you can live with DVI-D output, then its a great buy.

If you need a HDMI out, then you might have to look for a different LED model,
which might exceed the budget.

Also, if TV-PC & 18.5" is ok, I saw this, not sure if its good.

The specialised PC input gives you the option of converting this 18.5 inch LCD screen into your computer monitor and enjoy all your PC and laptop programs on a large screen.

There is also the inclusion of a high-speed USB 2.0 port which let you directly play the digital media files including audio, video and image files from any USB enabled external storage device.

LG monitor does not seem to be a bad option. Will decide between BenQ and LG soon.I guess getting a monitor from a retailer should be better than getting it online...Thanks for the inputs guys!

Welcome, do let us know which you buy & maybe a 2-liner review.

Another entry, LG 23 inch monitor. Similar as the Benq monitor except for "no microphone" jack

Indeed a very good choice, I am using the same monitor from past 15 days and I think it's the best monitor out there in the market, I purchased it for Rs.9300 street price, it's so thin and lightweight that you can lift it with just 2 fingers, buy this monitor if you have a high end graphics card and you enjoy gaming and watching HD movies, I recommend this full HD monitor to everyone.
