3 Affordable Full-HD LCD Monitors
By: Jayesh Mansukhani   |   Apr 16, 2008

Prices of LCD monitors have been steadily crashing. Sizes such as 20" and 22" are rapidly approaching mass-market status and this has resulted in full-HD monitors (24" and above) becoming affordable. These 24" inch monitors are not only full-HD compliant but also offer significantly more working area. Another market that such monitors have found surprising success in is next-gen consoles. Full-HD monitors come at a fraction of the price of a comparable TV that would normally be required to enjoy these consoles' native resolution.

Keeping in mind that Blu-ray has now effectively won the HD war and that prices for these drives are already dropping below the 10K mark, we decided to shop around for three 24-inch monitors that can be had for a relatively low price. Here's what we found:

AOC 416V

 


The brand name AOC may not ring any bells for most readers, since the company is virtually unknown in our part of the world. However, in Europe and many parts of Asia, the company has decent brand recognition since it's been in the PC business for a while.

AOC's monitor range has been available in India for some time though. The 416V is the flagship 24" model, with a native resolution of 1920x1200 p, 5ms response time (gray to gray), a dynamic contrast ratio of 3000:1, and 160/160 horizontal/vertical viewing angles. Though it lacks HDMI, it does have full support for HDCP via its DVI connectors and also has a D-Sub connector.

It is available for roughly Rs 23,000 (prices vary as per regional availability, so it could be anywhere between Rs 19,500 and Rs 24,200). For a detailed specification chart, please check this link. A list of companies that deal in the product can be found here.

Vijay are you for real? The author has listed the cheaper variant of Dell's entry level 24" model The 2408 WFP retails at 40k upwards! How many people u think will go for that????

The TN panel listed here will suffice for most people. Please don't give useless and shitty advice withotout checking your facts. Just because the 2408 is affordable to you ... it does not mean the rest of the world can get it that cheap.

ooops
DELL 2408WFP is the better dell monitor with 178/170 Viewing angles and a non TN panel.

This is like comparing Potatoes to apples. E248WFP from Dell is cheap because it is a TN panel- with limited Viewing angles 160/160- other are MVA or S-IPS, more expensive but better with richer colors.The Dell Monitor you should have compared above is called Dell E248WFP 24 inch

Get you facts straight and please don't confuse us.
