[sriharsha_madineni]

I'm selling off my Sony 17" LCD monitor for 5K and want to buy a new one at around 10-12K max.Need Full HD,and since most of the monitors stopped bundled DVI cables,what's the cost of DVI cable and which one should I go for(Brand/DVI-D(single link/Dual Link???)
Plz suggest some good Full HD monitors @10-12K and which one should I be going for 22" or 24".Preferably Dell and Samsung,in that order.

Price of Dell S2409W 24" FULL HD LCD Monitor @ 13k - recommended at
http://techshop.in/store/product_inf...oducts_id=2997

is around Rs.22,499 but u posted only Dell S2409W 24" FULL HD LCD Monitor @ 13k - recommended. Which price is the right ?

[topgear]

As I said on the post that I got this price list from another thread so I had not personally checked the prices by myself but there is no way it can be 22.5K coz our forum member Cool G5 bought this monitor @ Rs. 14.4K on 21st OCt

BTW, you can get it at just Rs. 12750

Wait..13.8k??Just few days back i had gone to lamington road to enquire for Dell 2409...At an average the price was around 14.5k...So shipping this monitor is cheaper than buying it from lamington road??

BenQ 22" G2220 FULL HD LCD Monitor @ 8k

Get this one, best for budget!

yeah the same happened with me,Every where else I enquired it was around 14.5 and no where less than 14K,even when Dell called me for the first time they quoted 14K,So just the day before planning to buy it locally I called them again, this time they said 13.8K including shipping and that price is valid for 10 days only.So I immediately booked it.

[Cool G5]

Dell too quoted Rs.13.8K when I asked but got it from Lamington road as I needed it immediately then.

How did you book online ?
Do we need any credit card for that ?
Is online price cheaper than street price ?
Buying Dell product from online rather than street shop better way ?

Well Revolution this is what I did,I clicked the YES I'M INTERESTED button below the monitor in this Dell webpage. Fill up the form and then they'll call you and quote the prices and tell you further payment details

Do we need any credit card for that ?

The payment options were either DD or At par cheques or Bank transfers.

Is online price cheaper than street price ?

In this case yes it is cheaper than street price,also availability of this model seems to be an issue with street shops.

Buying Dell product from online rather than street shop better way ?

Firstly it is cheaper than street shop and that too delivered right at your door step.And since Dell has on site warranty,even that is not an issue.Only you have to wait patiently for it to arrive .They said 4-5 working days let's see.

P.S: Just now got a call from a friend who bought a Inspiron 1525 recently,he lives in a small town nearby and had a hard disk prob.Dell's service guy came all the way from bangalore and replaced his hard disk with new one.Well that just tells you about their warranty.

[Ronnie11]

Thanks a lot sriharsha_madineni & cool G5....didn't have any idea about this...i might order it online then....but then what about the warranty?if they deliver the screen at your doorstep,will they do the same for repairs etc

[asingh]

^^
Of course buddy..! Its DELL. The warranty is part of what you pay to them...

yes. and if you buy a premium panel display (which costs a bomb) and report issue, they come with new display and do spot on replacement if the existing one is faulty.

for normal h/w, they do provide on-site service and you need not take the monitor anywhere.

[asingh]

^^ Yes true.

DELL is famous for its onsite service. Be it a DELL server or a laptop, they are there.

I was thinking of this monitor..but after all posts I am thinking 2 switch 2 Dell :-P
I thought support is not good for Dell in INdia...

[desiibond]

support for Dell may have become a bit scratchy but am sure that it's better than that of BenQ.

Dell and Samsung FTW!!!

[asingh]

^^
Its still good. I still remember if DELL monitors have >4 dead pixel, they replace the whole thing.

Yes even I had the same doubt.so I randomly typed a series of models while filling the form,but when they called me I enquired about S2409 and S2309,even the link they sent me during transactions for model verification was from DELL US site.Heard these models are nearing their EOL.
