A tight budget used to mean a washed-out, low-resolution panel. That’s changed — today ৳10,000 or less can still get you an IPS panel with genuinely usable colour and viewing angles. Here are five worth a look.
1. Dahua DHI-LM19-A202Y (18.5″ IPS)
Anti-blue-light coating, a 178° IPS panel, and a 5ms response time in a compact 1366×768 package. Great for study desks and small office setups where space is tight — just don’t expect much multitasking room on the smaller screen.
2. Gigasonic GS-215FHD500S9 (21.5″ Full HD IPS)
Full HD resolution, a 100Hz refresh rate, and VESA mount support make this a strong pick for both productivity and casual media. It skips a height-adjustable stand, so plan your desk setup accordingly.
3. Lenovo D19-10 (18.5″ WLED)
A dependable, no-frills TN panel with anti-glare coating and a Kensington lock slot — the kind of monitor IT departments buy by the dozen for office rollouts. Viewing angles are the one compromise versus IPS options here.
4. Dahua DHI-LM22-A201YW (21.45″ Full HD IPS)
A 1000:1 contrast ratio, 100Hz refresh rate, and slim bezels make this a well-rounded choice for mixed work-and-entertainment use, though it has no built-in speakers.
5. Dahua DHI-LM19-L200N (19.5″ HD+)
A step up from standard HD at 1600×900, with a 75Hz refresh rate for noticeably smoother scrolling than a 60Hz panel — a solid everyday pick if outdoor brightness isn’t a priority.
