ProsThis monitor displays a vividly clear picture and reduces eye strain. It's ready to go right out of the box and conveniently and moderatley priced.
ConsNo integrated speakers and limited turning radius for comfortable viewing. Also, five week build and ship time seemed excessive as other manufacturers' 22" monitors were in stock at various on-line retailers

Review:I purchased this monitor as a gift after closely reviewing numerous reviews in computer magazines and on C-Net. It was rated best for the price range I was looking at and all-in-all I think it is a very good buy and worth the money if you're only looking for basic features in a monitor. However, for $20 more I could have purchased a 22" ViewSonic monitor with integrated stereo speakers and now feel the extra $20 would have been worth it.

ProsI can work on more than one project without toggling between them.

ProsImage quality is great. The bleed over spoken about here is not very noticeable. No dead pixels. Fantastic value for the money.
ConsWould be nice if it had USB ports. Getting it to work in full resolution with Ubuntu linux has been a challenge.

ProsNice, bright, well defined picture. BEAUTIFUL if you take the time to set up the brightness/contrast/color balance. Response time is low enough to get some good gaming done. Puts my old CRT to shame!
ConsIf only they made 1920x1200 panels in this size...
Gaming at 1680 x 1050 made me realize I had to buy an expensive new graphics card. ;)

Review:If I had a bigger desk, I'd buy two more for surround gaming excellence!

ProsCheap
ConsThis monitor has no contrast and everything seems washed out. There is also a very noticeable fade in brightness from the top of the screen to the bottom. Colors seem completely different at the top of the the screen that at the bottom. The view angle is horrible, and the fact that there is no adjustable stand makes it worse.

Review:This monitor may be sufficient for simple tasks like word processing or surfing the web, but not if you need colors portrayed accurately. If you work in graphics or publishing, spend the extra $100 and something other than this budget piece of junk.

ProsI just updated my monitor, from a 15in, to this 22 widescreen.
And I just love it, its easier for me to read everything.
It's much more clear, vivid colors are more vivid.
And watching Dvd's on it, are so much better.
ConsHave none so far

ProsThis monitor is crisp and clear and well worth the money. The small footprint makes it a great desktop monitor for any purpose. I would recommend this monitor to any one who works on computers for hours at a time. Good Job, Dell!
ConsIf there is any drawback to this monitor is its hight adjustment, there isnt any. this is truly the only issue with this monitor that i can find. I over came this by placing it on a phone book to give me the extra two inches i wanted at my desk.

Pros- Plenty of desktop real estate for viewing applications and web pages without constant need to scroll left and right (web sites have gone so crazy with graphics and embedded videos these days that standard 1024x768 resolution just can't display most web pages' entire width anymore - the main reason I decided to buy a bigger monitor).
- Nice, crisp text - just as clear when leaning back as when leaning in - allows long sessions without eye strain.
- Fast response time - absolutely no flicker.
- Great, ultra-clean look - thin, even-sized bezel on all sides doesn't waste any space.
Cons- Many adjustment options unavailable when connected thru DVI cable to digital video output (even the Auto Adjust feature only works with analog connection) - leaving only brightness & contrast and RGB colour values adjustable.
- Factory settings too bright, imposing frightful pink tinge upon all things grey, muddy gradients - difficult to adjust.
- Might be true of all wide-screen monitors, but there is no resolution setting that my graphics card (nVidia GeForce 7300) can use in combination with this monitor that does not distort the aspect ratio of my photos. Media Player seems to adjust video aspect ratios properly (at least, they look OK), but all my photos are either ridiculously squeezed together or stretched wide. Have settled on 1280x960 (native 1680x1060 produces text much too small for my eyes to read without using Windows' problematic Large Font setting), which produces the least distortion, but photos are still a bit "fatter" than they should be.

Review:Lots here complain about lack of adjustable stand and no USB ports. To me, so what. Stand is already optimal height for my desktop (for once, the stand's not so tall that I have to bend my head back to look at the monitor), and it tilts back and forth, which is all I need it to do. And what do I need USB ports for on my monitor? Already got 6 of them on my computer, where I can plug things in without having a bunch of cords sprouting all over my desktop.

Yes, there is backlight bleed around the edges (never seen an LCD monitor that didn't have it), but it's only noticeable when screen is all black. Yes, the viewing angle is overstated in the specs: this monitor is no good for looking at when you're standing up or moving two feet to the left or right but, like most people, I have no reason to use it under those conditions. There is no distortion or lack of clarity while sitting in front of it, no matter how far I move my head or shift in my chair.

Have not watched DVDs extensively, but the videos I have watched show none of the ghosting or colour bleed that other reviewers have mentioned. Also, there is none of the variation in colour accuracy between various areas of the screen that other reviewers have pointed out (again, probably a matter of adjusting the settings correctly).

The bottom line is the monitor's settings are difficult to adjust (took me two days of fiddling and figuring out that the colour innaccuracies - like the pink hues - need to be corrected with the brightness and contrast controls, NOT the colour controls) but, once set properly, the colours are fine - even in photos and videos. Got this on sale here for $229 - definitely great bang for the buck.

Prosone word somes it up awesome. I love this thing. My husnband doen't even have to use his glasses with this one.
Consnone I have had it about 2 weeks.
