Monitors Please suggest among Benq LCD - G2220/E2200HD/G2420

[SpaceVoid]

Hello folks,
I am in a dilemma.Need to buy a LCD monitor and I want to select among the ones listed here G2220/E2200HD/G2420. Purpose would be for movie watching (HD), moderate gaming.I was thinking of getting Tatasky (or any other) HD-DTH and hook it up to the LCD. The G2220 does not have a hdmi.So I was wondering is there a hdmi-to-dvi connector available which will carry the video signal to the LCD from the STB.

Please suggest.I know these are the most typical questions asked around here.But I am confused.And in such circumstances I am looking for advice from the experienced TE members.

Thanks for looking...

Whats ur budget? If you can afford G2420 HD ( its around 11k) , thats your best bet.
E2200 HD has hdmi but G2220 HD doesnt.So if u want HDMI E2200 HD it is ( arnd 8.2k).
So ur options are G2420 or E2200 , both have HDMI.It all depends on how much u can shell out

^ Thanks for the reply dude. Is there any quality difference,any shortcomings between the two which you mentioned ?

I have the G2420 and it is awesome ! Worth every penny i spent It has HDMI , DVI and off course VGA input.

 

[buddingwhizkid]

yup ! g2420 is good ! buy it if you have the money ! else go for e2200 ! and yeah there is a little bit of difference between dvi and hdmi !

one last question .... is there any converter cable for HDMI-to-DVI ? As per my understanding HDMI = DVI + AUDIO (correct me if I m wrong).Its just that my friend has a 22 incher benq which he had bought 2 years back.And that itself seems huge for me.So I am more tilted towards the 22incher and not the 24 incher.

Thanks for the help guys.

^^ yeah there is a adapter to convert hdmi-to-dvi , but i guess its a bit costly.But If you need 22 inch and hdmi then go for E2200 HD, you wont need any adapter for that.

 

[buddingwhizkid]

yup there is an adapter ! saw it on ebay !

 

[kritarth]

The HDMI to DVI cable should be about 600 bucks ... got one for this price in Delhi

i paid 11.6k in goa so in bangalore 10.7 -10.8k might be the price as most of monitors are priced around 800-900 rs more then bangalore and mumbai in goa (bought a week back )
