Guys, what do you think about AOC monitors? I got a price of 6,900 Rs/- for a 19" AOC LCD. Should I buy it?

I don't know if thats a good deal or not. I don't remember how many RS = $, nor do I know how expensive other monitors are where you live.

As for the company, I've never used them. I have had good success with odd brand monitors. Remember that few people make the panels themselves, so they are all mostly the same. As long as the spec are good (<=5ms, 1000:1, etc) then you should be ok.

There are lots of reviews on LCD monitors on the internet. You can't just go buy a brand you should be asking about specific models.

There are a few specs to be concerned with:
1) size (I'd get at least 20" )
2) Ratio (4:3, 5:4, 16:9 and 16:10; many people with 5:4 monitors often have them at the incorrect resolutions. For example, 1024x768 is incorrect. I recommend one of the Widescreens if higher than 20" or a 4:3 if lower than 20" )
3) Contrast Ratio (True, not Dynamic): 1000:1 is the best there is currently. You want at least 700:1.
4) viewing angle: many have very poor viewing angles. Excellent screens are at least 2x the price
5) speakers: all monitor speakers are poor. Don't bother with them.
6) Refresh
7) colour
8) Resolution: It's better to have a higher quality screen than a higher resolution.

Basically, I recommend looking around at reviews though I can try to get you started with a review comparing some new monitors. Always, always read a review of the monitor you intend to buy. If you can't order online, go to the store, compare monitors and write down numbers but be aware that often monitors in the stores don't look quite like they would in your home usually because they're all being fed the same signal whether it causes fuzziness, stretching.
