You can get a 24" in that budget.

Try getting the Benq G2420HD (11.3k) or if you want only 22" then try the Benq G2220 (8k)
 
hey guys, suppose i dont change the motherboard, will the C2D e4500 become a bottleneck when used with ATi 4770 or 5770?

and, will the MSI 5770's afterburner feature work with intel motherboard?
coz this intel m/b is not meant for OC.
 
I would suggest you get a processor + mobo instead of getting only a mobo for ~11k for a Intel E4500!!!

The current processor would be a bottleneck for any recent graphics card. Get a AMD setup with a X4 635 and a mobo with a 785 chipset in your budget. This would be so much worth the investment than investing in the old setup.
 
I'm not spending 11k on m/b :p

I dont want to go for proc. + m/b now, no budget :(
btw, you have ASUS P5KPL AM/PS (Rs.2350), is it good for OC?

btw it has just two DIMM's :(

:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

using laptop now, will buy MSI 5770 (jus for After burner :devil2: ) from him.
thanks to all of you for suggesting me this AWESOME LCD :D
 
when you connect thru HDMI, you can use the audio in/out of LCD itself, no need to connect thru cabinet...

e.g. connecting headphones :D

audio in, i think it can be used if you purchase DELL "sound bar" (speakers).
 
and what if i use the standard vga or dvi port

can you please explain me the use of audio in/out port in detail

i am noob to this
 
the audio ports can be used only when you connect via HDMI, as HDMI cable carries both video & audio signals.

in my case, i've connected the LCD to laptop via HDMI, so i'm able to use my HP speakers by connecting it to LCD display itself.

==>i dont need to connect the speaker to laptop.
