Title: Settings Options - Great Date: January 25, 2009
ProsI have vision issues and it is very important that I am able to adjust the brightness and contrast. As this is my second UltraSharp, I knew I could do it, but the change in settings was much easier with this model. I love the extra real estate!! I did have to change the default settings from Desktop to sRGB to get the correct colors. Much more adjustable than the old one - everything is now at eye level.
ConsThe molding on the power cord was incorrect. The plug would not stay in the panel - even with the slightest movement, it would fall out. Two wraps with electrical tape on the female end of the plug and it now stays in the socket. Not exactly what you would expect from a Dell product.

Title: Best Monitor Yet Date: January 25, 2009
ProsI love my new monitor. The higher resolution makes such a difference. The pictures are sharp and clear and the colors are right on spot. The setup was so simple and the large screen makes watching videos, movies, etc. and doing my work so much easier on the eyes. My eyes are not what they used to be and the larger screen and sharpness of the resolution make text and figures so much easier to read.
ConsI have found nothing not to like.

Title: Big Disapointment for imaging Pro's Date: January 24, 2009
ProsGood value for the size.
ConsViewing Angle
Contrast
Color
Lack of other inputs
No auto sensing rotation

Review:This monitor is a HUGE disapointment! I am an imaging professional and when color and contrast matter, this monitor is useless. The viewing angle is terrible...move half an inch up or down and the whole monitor will change in brightness. The color of this monitor is off too and presents a much more greenish hue than it should be. Dell uses a different interface on this monitor than other Dell monitors too thus making it very difficult to calibrate. Finally, it offers no other inputs like S-video or RCA (as it used to with it's UltraSharps).

I also have an UltraSharp 2007WFP and that is a FANTASTIC monitor with none of the issues that the 2009WFP presents.

Dell is obviously trying to sell cheaper monitors now to save money, but all it should tell anyone is to look elsewhere in the future.

ProsLove this monitor. Quite an upgrade from my 1905FP.
ConsNot very happy with the fact that it don't slide as high up and down as my 1905FP. I prefer it level with my head but now I have to look down at it.

Title: Dell UltraSharp 2208WFP 22in LCD Date: January 20, 2009
ProsPRICE WAS GREAT!
( $200 with FREE S&H and FREE 3 year Warranty! )

PROS:
* Adjustable Height Stand is Very NICE!
* Picture Quality and Response are great.
* Easy to use adjustments and has AUTO ADJUST.
* Very Clear Picture & very high quality
1680 * 1050 is Great.
ConsI wish this had TV capabilities as I would connect cable to it. No cable is a con.

Only con is no tv input or output capabilities so if you are thinking of using this model, there is more than 1.

MORE EXPENSIVE 2208 MODELS HAVE TV CAPABILITIES THIS ONE DOES NOT!

Review:This is the best price I could find including ebay for the deal...

$200 with FREE S&H and FREE 3 yr. warranty!

Thanks DELL!

ProsBright color, simple design and best warranted 22" monitor. It is big enough for desktop use. It has all you need for a desktop/laptop monitor.
Consthe USB connections are on the left side.

Review:want to watch a movie? How about watch it on a 42" or bigger tv?
also, it has the adjustable stand. In my view it is the most important feature you will need. It allows you the flexibility to use it the way you want.

Title: Butter my buns & call me a biscuit Date: January 18, 2009
ProsNone
ConsThis specific monitor blew me away ... with it's failure!!! Having used Dell monitors for years, I expected this "Ultra Sharp" to be of higher quality. I've attempted to call the sales dept. for an exchange (because it's within 30 days, and Tech Support refuses to help me), but their hours are pretty much impossible to accomodate my own work schedule.

Immediately upon setting this up, I noticed there was a Backlight bleed 2" from the lower left corner, and the bottom half was "washed out" and significantly lighter in the color hues as compared to the top. Grey appears very light on the bottom task bar, but very dark, almost BROWN, across the top of the screen. The text and fonts on the bottom of the screen are not tight, but appear very thin and choppy; yet, across the top the letters are very dark and appear as if they are DOUBLE BOLD. It is impossible to do any artistic work on this monitor, as the colors are not consistant and even from the top of the document or image to the bottom. There is at least a 6-10 shade difference in "color" or "contrast" from top to bottom. Maybe this is just a bad LCD panel, so I may give them the chance to resolve this problem with an exchange (IF ... I can get through to a sales rep, because, as I said earlier, it's within 30 days, and Tech Support REFUSES to help me). This monitor appears to have a cheaper backlight/panel config similar to Dell's low-end 22" WFP's. This is the THIRD 22" WFP that has exhibited this exact same symptomology. I just didn't extpect it from their "Ultrasharp" line of monitors. I'm extremely disappointed.

ProsAfter using a similar Dell model at work, I new this would be a good choice, but apparently, my old monitor was really bad. Using my new Dell widescreen is like having a totally new computer. This purchase has honestly been one of my best buys for computer equipment and I am thrilled with it. The price was very reasonable and the quality is great.
