AOC -using it for 2months ,very good
There are some issues with LG colour rendering -reported in many forums
BENQ may be good but AFAIK does not have analogue tuner.check it.so that you cannot connect Antenna directly and it needs a STB.( if you check
BenQ India - Consumer Electronics was imp for me so (wanted to use as second TV connected to cable) opted for AOC.

Rs 12460 is far better .I opted for v22t ( 22 Inch) for 11450 ( what I remember) In mumbai v24t last was 13.5 K.
BTW wall mounting not included. Also retailers do not understand what is dual display ( PCMonitor cum TV) so ask by model no
Chk if bwworld price. Post your purchase after buying..
I'm a new to this forum and after reading about BWworld of Bangalore, couldn't control myself from sharing my experience with you all, especially with you dear Hament.
May I ask you why Bwworld insist for membership before you get to know the price of the item. Most of you must have notice when you visit the link provided above by Hament, you got to fill all personal details & sign up! in this case its 24" AOC monitor TV? Why like any other online selling portal, the prices are not displayed? He's a CHEAT, a FRAUD. He's there to make a kill. Getting genuine names & address with all contact details couldn't be easier than this. In the name of economy mode of shipping he would later ask you awesome amount.
I'm a retd. Air Force officer, senior citizen and a law graduate. I placed an order with BWW. On 7 Aug.'10, for 22" Acer LCD Monitor P225HQ (BWW product code 4093) for Rs. 6464/- plus VAT 5% - Rs. 324/-. The Shipping mode was economical hence - add later - approve - pay. This Cheat has nowhere on his site mentioned that its only a proposal from the BWW AND not (R) not an order. He later wrote me that price of monitor has increased by Rs. 450/- and therefore the cost will be Rs. 6914/- plus VAT Rs. 346/-. And to top his 'greed' he asked Rs. 600/- towards eco. shipping from Bangalore to New Delhi.
Here, I would like to enlighten my youngsters that all these online selling companies have a tie up with a courier company which invariably offer flat rate shipping. For big items like printers & monitors its app. Rs. 90/- to 120/-. For smaller items like motherboard, CPUs, RAMs and graphic cards etc its app. Rs.30/- to Rs. 60/- These are charges are for shipping by surface! Thats what is economical mode. But then, friends, its not by Transport trucks. Its normally by cheapest mode of transportation in India - yes! you guessed it right! its by Train - mail/express passenger trains. Here too the bulk shipping system with special tariff from Rlys. The packet reaches almost 3rd day from any metro to any Metro. And thereafter by surface transport. In any case one can get shipment to a remotest destination within 7 days. Thats it.
If Rs. 600/- is a economical mode then what would be best mode.
Lets come back to main point. BWW had no right to increase the price after accepting the order for Rs. 6464/- plus Tax. Suppose the price had gone down - which we all have seen all these years especially in computers & Peripherals, then had this guy reduced the price? NEVER! He'll say he had already bought it at higher price before the decrease.
When I wrote him and admonished him he threatened me of filling a defamation case against me. Poor chap! He's still not aware that not only I'm a retd. Air Force officer but a law graduate too. I was compelled to make a complaint to Commissioner of Police and VAT department at Bangalore to check his business activities and his VAT registration. People like him can sell all the data pertaining to the visitors/customers. Most of these SOHO online sellers do not even have proper VAT registration. eBay is full of such sellers who do not issue proper Tax invoice for sale outside their state. As a matter of fact no courier company can accept any commercial shipment without propewr tax invoice. Please note that retail invoice is for local sale and not for interstate sales. Without proper invoice no court can entertain your complaint - not even a consumer court where you don't need a lawyer to plead your case.
Do you all agree that BWW acted malafide to arbitrary increase the price by Rs. 450/-? What had happen if the price had gone down? Do you also agree that charging Rs. 600/- towards economical mode of shipping is a fraud on customer?
I will prove that! Pl visit bitfang.com You'll see all prices which are inclusive of VAT. And not like BWW where prices are exclusive of taxes but then its not even mentioned that "tax extra" - another proof of his being a cheat. For shipping, you'll be offered various option including "By surface" and against each option the exact charges are mentioned. For shipping by surface - for a LCD (or LED) monitor the charges are Rs. 150/- only. It was earlier Rs. 123/- AOC V24T is being offered for Rs. 13910/- by bitfang.com and shipping is Rs. 150/- only That way its still cheaper than BWWs 12460 + 600 that comes to 16460/- And I'm not sure that price of 12460/- is inclusive of VAT or not.
I bought one after the other, 2 Brother AIO printers; DCP 195C, weighing almost 10 Kgs and paid Rs 4700/- incl tax and Rs. 123/- for shipping by surface - for each printer. At New Delhi this printer was being sold at premium price of Rs. 6000 and above - because of refilling cartridges set.
Now about the requirement of our friend. I recently bought AOC 2236VW monitor for Rs. 7000 + 5% from cost 2 cost computers, Nehru Place New Delhi. It prices are the cheapest in this Asia's biggest IT Hub! Its a value for money. With 21.5" viewable area its cheapest & the best monitor money can buy. Then; when TV tuner is attached to a monitor its treated as TV; the tax rate goes up from 5% to 12.5% and warranty goes down to one year from 3 years. I don't know about AOC V24T as its not available in Delhi. Not even with company's' HO at Gurgaon which is hardly 20 Kms and part of NCR. The huge price difference - almost double than the cost of 22" AOC does not make much sense. One can buy a external TV tuner costing Rs. 900/- But then its individual choice. The prices will definitely go down - we all know. I remember having purchased my first PC in 1995 - a 486DX with 4MB RAM and 540 Mb HDD and a Microtek 14" BW DigiSync monitor All for Rs. 32,000/- In 1998 I bought HP 1X CD writer for Rs. 22,000/- I still have that alongwith proper bill.
To me it was strange that price of 22" Acer increased all of a sudden by Rs. 450/-. It could be that BWW must have thought why a customer from proper New Delhi is buying from him. It was most unethical & unfair business practice.
Last not the least to all my new friends. Anything you buy online and pay using any mode of payment, is protected under Consumer Protection Act 1986. You dont have to file a complaint in the sellers city. You can approach the nearest Consumer Court to your residence and file a complaint. Just type your complaint (even hand written in local language is also acceptable), attach Rs. 100/- postal order as court fees That's all.
