Tough choice the BenQ monitor almost seems a bit to cheap I always try and go midrange like the LG monitor but depends what you want to spend

The ones with the free pen drive seem to be higher not sure if thats why or not.

the benq is actually listed as RM899 on the brochure, but the saleslady say the promo price is RM780 only, i post the same question on another forum and most people seem to recommend samsung , but personally i think the benq is very good value, just not sure about the performance, color and quality

Not really familiar with BenQ but checked prices in Canada and its about 100CAD cheaper than the LG monitor. It is a good value but I think that brochure was inaccurate I am not familiar with your currency but theres no way the list price on the BenQ is RM26 cheaper than the LG.

Did you try it out and see if your happy with it ? Your the one thats going to be using it and all tastes are different. Samsung does make nice stuff but depends what you want to spend.

Look at the screen yourself to determine which is best for you. I would ignore the price first, then look at the price after you pick one.
