I got the following quotations from 2 shops in pune. xxxx denotes salesman had no idea of model no.
Samsung:
B1930, 18.5" - 6500
B2030, 20" - 7000
LG:
1943C, 18.5 - 6250
xxxx, 20" - 6850
Dell:
xxxx , 18.5": 6150
IN1920, 18.5": 6400
Philips:
xxxx, 20": 6850
Fujitsu:
xxxx 20": 6200 (not buying)
Acer:
brightview 20": 7650 (not buying)
my budget is 6k and these are the options with me currently. only the last philips and samsung B2030 have dvi ports. i shall stretch the budget if reqd, but dont really want to.
i have 2 qs.
1. are the quotations fine, or are things available for a little less in pune? if yes, which shops. the above shops (dcc and sys-tech) seem to have a reputation of charging high (this particular bit learnt on this fora).
2. the purposes of the monitor is a little bit of computer work and a little bit of tv via an external tuner. i can certainly live without a dvi port for the little usage that i'll put in, but it appears to me that for non-dvi, i shall have to manually open the monitor cable (the blue coloured port - called vga?) from pc and connect to tv tuner each time i have to change. please correct me if i am wrong here.
or can i connect *both* pc and tv tuner to the monitor's vga port without having to open the port each time i need to change from computer to tv? :huh:
this information is crucial -- coz if the vga port needs changing each time, ill buy the samsung B2030, or else ill buy the non-dvi dell 18.5 whose picture quality i liked and costs about a thousand less than the B2030. thanks in advance.
