Hi guys
I have a 14" dell studio which is good for mobility but it really sucks at watching movies and gaming stuff. So, I am planning to get an external monitor with a budget of upto 11K and i am also planning to get a separate gaming rig and an airtel HD set-top box in a few months. I've gone through several threads that suggested Benq G2220HD as good movies/gaming option but it lacks a hdmi input .So, I need a monitor with hdmi input though it is not compulsory if display quality & price are compelling enough ( there's always hdmi-dvi cable ). Please suggest a good monitor that stays current for atleast 2 years. Thanks and
here's the template.

Nothing in particular. But any brand with good after sales service will be better, as things around me tend to malfunction frequently

nfs
