They also have another model listed, the Dell ST2220M. As far as I can tell, its one Rupee more expensive, but doesn’t have HDMI. Is there anything else I am missing in there ?
Might go with Dell it seems.
Does anybody know if they make their own ??

well, well, well …
Just finished ordering a Dell ST2320L 23" LED monitor from letsbuy.com. Listed for Rs. 9399.
10% discount coupon applied.
Final price: Rs. 8460, including delivery, Transit insurance.
But ther checkout/cart system is pretty pi55 poor !
Wouldn’t let me add separate info for Billing / Shipping adress. Only info I could add was the shipping info, and then payment. So the credit card thinks the Shipping address is the Billing address and matches the billing info from website with the address on my credit card. Then it gives error that addresses dont match ! (Thats because I am gifting it to someone. So ofcourse, the shipping address is different from the Billing address - which is the address on my credit card)
Dunno about the ST 2220L since I haven’t personally seen any of them. But it does seem to be a decent panel from what I hear.
It’s not the Dells, but just the ST2320L I believe. Dell generally has great monitors and is one of the best LCD monitor manufacturers around. Unfortunately, I think the ST2320L didn’t turn out to be up to the mark.
For around 8k the Benq G2220 or E2220 are good monitors.
If you can get the Benq G2420, it’s a great bargain for a little over 10k.
Acer S231HL and LG 2360V are also other options. I would advise you to have a look at each monitor if you can. Then you can decide which one you like best.
Strangely, the earlier order for ST2320 was never approved in the first place. my CC has been charged, but I will get a refund. I guess it wasn’t meant to be after all.
Waiting for the ST2220L now… Oh and my FREE Diwali gift (Oh God ! let it be a DVI cable, apparently Dell dont supply one with monitor )
The post viralbug has linked to pretty much explains everything. The monitor is downright poor. Yeah its insanely bright but colors are just too washed out (bleached is apparently the term) and dull, sharpness wasn’t there even after repeated attempts at calibrating it. Even i was surprised at this fact. At first thought this might be down to the unit i received but when the replacement too performed like that, i insisted on an LCD/other models and got a SX2210.
