ProsI purchased this monitor a few months ago and it has had no problems whatsoever it was recieved in excellent condition with no scratches or dead pixels or any other problems and was plug and play with no problems at all and I am very happy with it. I bought a samsung the same size a few years ago for about 1500. and this one for about 300. so i am very happy.
Consno usb or card slots.

Review:if this monitor would have included a couple of usb ports to replace my usb hub it would have recieved 5s across the board but I do have a usb hub so no big deal.

ProsThe size, the resolution, the slim edge around the screen makes the monitor look great. The picture quality is above average once you figure out how to adjust the settings.
ConsYou have to bet close to 90 degrees to the monitor to maintain the great picture quality. If you move further away from the 90 degrees the colors are distorted.
No USB connections.

ProsExcellent image quality
ConsNone

Review:I have not experienced any of the problems noted in some other reviews regarding light leakage and pink color cast. As regards the stand being not height adjustable, it shouldn't be an issue. At least, it's not an issue for me. You can get a straight line of sight to the monitor, without having to bend your neck, by adjusting the tilt if necessary.

ProsMonitor is awsome. I read some other reviews about the lighting on the monitor being a con, but I do not see anything about what they are talking about. The monitor is seriously awsome.
ConsNone.

ProsI think this is a great display. Great design - slim bezel, it looks great. The picture for everyday computer work is fine - whether it be viewing photos, games or web browsing.
I think this is exceptional value for money.
ConsIt was so bright out of the box it just about blew me away. I put brightness on 42 and Contrast on 61 which made it right for my home office.

Review:It is possible to see banding on flat colour gradations if one looks for it (but then I checked my old LCD which had the same thing - and I never noticed it!). If you are a graphics profession (or just particularly predantic about this subject) you might want to check it out before you buy, but I believe most people will never notice it.

ProsI like the design. It's nice. The price is cheap. 3 years warranty.
ConsDoesn't have preset buttons for night, day,movie,picture mode. Colors are acceptable not great. Seem like more pink. Black is not black , light bleeding at corners.

Review:I bought this monitor to replace my 17'' flatron LG LCD. The size and shape look great( the included cables look cheap). the colors of my old 17'' LCD look better than the colors of this monitor. However, on Vista colors of the 228w look better than that of XP professional. Overall, this monitor is ok for the money I paid. If you want a better one, try a ultra- sharp one. Dell shipping was fast. Order on Sunday, got it on Tues.

ProsThe picture quality is awesome. It makes me cry to think my games could have looked this great all along. This monitor has great stability, looks good and is very slim for as big of a monitor as it is. Best pro of all, it's mine :).
ConsI am sitting her racking my brain just to come up with at least 1 con and I cannot. I guess for the sake of having a con category, I can see the pixels a bit when I watch some of my High Def videos... but of course, these videos are not used to be blown up to 1680x1050, so that is the best I can do.

ProsNice, wide view. I remember when the UPGRADE to a 17" CRT was a big deal. Now, 22" of wide screen, LCD real estate is quite affordable. The text is crisp, the colors saturated and the brightness outstanding.
ConsMy display, like others, was a bit "pink" out of the box. A quick calibration brought the color back to a more natural look and provided a solid profile. I also have the 24" Dell and this display does not have the viewing angle that the higher end line has. If you are not dead center, you will see a color cast. The ability to swivel would also be nice as would USB ports. but - add those features and the price would not be so affordable any longer.

Review:This display is very nice for anyone looking for an inexpensive upgrade path to a larger, LCD display.

ProsExcellent monitor for the price. The 5ms screen refresh is very noticeable. Calibrated with Monaco's OPTIX software and the images really jump out.

Review:I use Photoshop CS2 in my photography business. With a 22" screen you can open a Photoshop editing screen as well as a Photoshop Bridge screen. After sizing them you can place them side by side and have adequate viewing area. It is really nice to not have to jump between screens. By having them both open at the same time on the screen you can get all the relevant data at the same time. Pretty cool!
