Guys this is my first review. pardon me for my mistakes.
So lets begin -
I was to get a monitor as a B'Day gift from my parents. i considered Samsung P2350, DELL ST2220L, Samsung B2230, Benq G2220HD. searched hard for samsung P2350 but it wasn't available anywhere at smcinternational.in, theitwares, primeabgb. B2230 reviews were good. benq reviews were ok. and at that time the ST2220L was a new entrant to the market. only one review was there which was good. so i decided to take risk and go with this.
Ordered this from smcinternational.in for 8750 including taxes. shipping was 200 bucks.
