Hi there,

A mate of mine will be in Chiang Mai soon and as he will be there for a while he wants to get a 19" (or so) widescreen lcd monitor for his laptop

Normally I'd pop in to Computer City or similar and get him a price but unfortunately I'll be out of the country until after he arrives

Does anyone currently know how much these go for so I can let him know how much to budget for?

Many thanks,

Narked

P.S. If this is better of in the computer forum please move it

Should be able to get a 19 or 20" widescreen between 3k & 5k or even less. Tohome.com shows prices that you can use as a guide as they will be approximately the same price in Chiang Mai.

Thanks Tywais - I'll point my mate at that website and he can sort his budget out

should give you a good general idea:

I just bought a 20" Samsung in the big shop on the third floor of Airport Plaza (IT City?) They had the non-full-HD version on a little sale for 3150 baht, which I thought was reasonable. So far I'm very happy with my purchase.

Panthip has them reasonably priced on the second floor. ~2.5-3k

Also saw a really awesome Samsung 23" 1920x1080 (full HD) for around 5,500 baht or so.

Unbelievable, that's almost a reasonable TV size, plus LED monitor quality for your computer screen..

(Also at Panthip)

Thank you all for your suggestions - I've passed them on to my mate for his perusal
