Some of the factors you should consider (other than size/max resolution) is the response time (for gaming), height adjustability(including potrait/landscape mode) and the different inputs available. I wouldn't want to buy a 22/24" and be only able to connect my laptop.. i would like to have the composite inputs (can plug in the DVD and other thigs) or S-Video etc. On this front Dell rules. I read about samsung being the one matching Dell in terms of display and their high end monitors aren't really for personal use :) Checkout Dell US website, they do sell mointors from other vendors as well.. have a look at the popular monitors there ... Do point me to the viewsoinic reviews that you mentioned in the comment. @aadis,

I have been looking for 22" LCD monitor and checked the reviews of VX2255wm. The product is excellent as per many of the reviews but only problem is its coating as its fingerprint magnet and prone to smudges. What else exactly are the problems with viewsonic? I have not been able to find positives or negatives of 22" Dell so far but in what way 2208WFP stand out? I still hesitate to go for this direct marketing of dell against always an authorized service center in my city sounding more reliable and attractive. Thus I wanted to choose between Viewsonic VX2255wm and LG's L226WTQ. LG doesnot seem to have this fingerprints and smudging problem but I still have not yet analyzed its disadvantages. I would be grateful if someone could throw some light on L226WTQ's disadvantages. Venu, Thank you for the quick reply. I still have not yet found anything great on Dell. Can you highlight some? Is there any disadvantage in 22" over smaller 19" or 17"? Samsung's 22" costs about 6000 to 7000 INR more than its viewsonic or LG counterparts. Since you also suggested Samsung as an alternative, can you explain on this? What makes 6000 INR worthier than VX2255wm or L226WTQ? Hi All,

Dell does not provide international warranty Parthiban, Since I wrote this post, Dell has bought in lot of models, which are worth checking out. I have done lot of research and Dell monitors stand out. I would suggest not to go for Viewsonic/HP. Samsung is good but very expensive i believe :) @Deepak,

The current tread is that even 22" prices have come down much. Viewsonic VX2255wm costs around 17000 INR. LG's L226WTQ costs the same. HP india doesnot seem to pose any 22" monitors but 24" inches. Currently struggling to choose between these 3 (Samsung 244T may join my list if the price may fall down) I too have been in the same LCD hunting.

Which brings us to the next question, if I buy it in the US, would I get a local warranty from Dell for that product? Or, does Dell provide International warranty for its products?

Dell 24" *is* 40k. However the 22" is 19k (right now, on the website). So most prolly I'll spring for a 22" right now, and then upgrade to 30" mid 2008 or something. Lets see.

Once you go for a LCD monitor exceeding 20", there is a drastic change in the price. Today I called up Acer, even he is quoting 40k for 22" monitor !!!!
