10 best monitors under Rs 20,000 in India (2026)

Monitor prices have come down significantly in the last couple of years, with some superb monitors selling for nearly half the price they were selling at previously. This is especially nice at a time when PC component prices are continuing to skyrocket. With that in mind, here are the best monitors under Rs 20,000 you can buy in 2026.

Samsung Odyssey G5

The best gaming monitor you can get is the Samsung Odyssey G5. It’s got excellent contrast because Samsung went with a VA panel rather than Response time is low at 1ms, and you get a 180 Hz refresh rate for fluid gaming. The 2K resolution is also a great choice for a gaming display. Connectivity includes 2x HDMI, one DisplayPort, and a headphone out.

There’s also a 3-year warranty on the panel. Samsung makes some of the best VA panels around as these don’t suffer heavily from the black smear issues that plague most other cheap VA panels.

ASUS TUF VG28UQL1A

This 28-inch IPS panel is perfect for those who want to game at 4K. Text is sharp and clear and games look very good thanks to support for HDR and the inherently better image quality of IPS technology. The monitor is also quite bright at 450 nits, and is one of the rare models to support Nvidia G-Sync in this price category. With four HDMI ports, 2x USB-A, and even DP1.4 support, connectivity will never be a problem. A steal for Rs 13,314.

BenQ PhotoVue SW270C

Those who are particular about their photo and video editing might want to consider the BenQ PhotoVue SW270C. It’s an excellent 27-inch monitor with a 2K resolution, and it has plenty of I/O including USB-C, which should be particularly attractive to laptop or Mac users. The refresh is low at 60 Hz, and response time is just 5 ms, but again, this is not a gaming monitor but instead one positioned as more suitable for photo and video editing. This is courtesy of BenQ’s AQ colour tech that ensures colour uniformity and accuracy.

Lenovo Legion R27fc-30

CS: GO and Valorant players will want the Legion R27fc-30. It’s a 27-inch gaming monitor with a resolution of just 1080p. However, it’s one of the only monitors under Rs 20,000 that offers a blisteringly fast 240 Hz refresh rate and 0.5 ms pixel response time. It’s also quite bright thanks to 350 nits of rated brightness, and contrast is also very good as it’s a VA panel. Pricing is set at Rs 18,599.

Samsung M5

Lastly, we have the Samsung M5, which is in many ways the best entertainment monitor under Rs 20,000. It’s quite large at 32 inches. Resolution is only 1080p, but as an entertainment monitor with built-in smart features including support for OTT services, think of the M5 as more a smart TV than a monitor.

It’s a VA panel, so you can expect great contrast, and the 10W speakers should provide plenty of audio for those sitting at a distance. Yours for Rs 17,599.
