Title: Great Monitor!
Date: January 7, 2009
ProsAbility to adjust hight and great price. ConsNone at this time.
Review:I've read many reviews that say that the image quality is poor. I disagree with that statement. The image quality is great, but if you do work that requires the highest quality of image detail, you'd then opt for a higher priced/ higher contrast ratio monitor. A 22 inch monitor with a 1000:1 contrast ratio is a really good buy at just around 200 bucks. You just can't loose with this..... Shop around and compare, you'll see......

Title: Awesome Monitor
Date: January 6, 2009
Pros(***** = Star Rating per feature)
Excellent brightness: ***** Almost no motion blur at 75Hz: **** Outstanding and accurate color: ****` Evenly lit all around: **** No dead pixels: ***** Amazing design: ***** Ability to rotate to portrait layout: ***` EXCELLENT tilt/angle/height control: ***** Excellent price/performance ratio: ***** ConsBlacks are great, but I wish they were deeper.
Color, though eye-popping, seems to be limited in range compared to a regular CRT or a 10-bit panel. This is only noticeable in the deeper shades of gray, and in a few other colors. Only a keen eye will catch this range discrepancy.
Review:This monitor looks amazing even using an RGB HD-15 jack, and PS3 looks fantastic on it through an HDMI-DVI cable running in 1080P and 720P. And not only are the images coming from it fantastic, the visual design of this monitor is very pleasing to the eye as well.
I chose this model over a native 1080P monitor of it's size so that in it's crisp native resolution text would not be too small to read comfortably, and I was right. Text is nice and easy to read, and the images on this monitor are razor sharp. Being able to adjust the height to where it was comfortable was also a critical reason for purchasing this monitor.
If height/position adjustment of the screen and readability are crucial - you can't beat this monitor. If more resolution is what you want, you may want to sacrifice on the design quality and height/position adjustment and go with the newer 1080P LCD's from Dell.

Title: Cheap, lousy monitor
Date: January 5, 2009
ProsBig, good resolution, cheap ConsTerrible image quality; significant color variation as viewing angle changes; due to size, this color variation occurs across the monitor even as you remain in the same position - that is, when looking at a uniform image (e.g., the windows desktop), the color on the left side of the monitor appears different from the color on the right side of the monitor
Review:I find this monitor unusable and have ordered the 2408WFP instead. For me, the extra cost is well worthwhile. I was very disappointed with the 2208WFP - I have owned a 2004WFP for a couple of years and it is the best LCD monitor I have ever used. I expected the 2208WFP to be similar (given that is carries the same model number scheme and the same UltraShrap name). However, after receiving the monitor, I found that the image quality is nowhere near comparable.

Review:My son knew I was having trouble with my eyes, and was losing interest in the computer, and sent money to get this. My other son told me what to order and it did replace another Dell so I was happy with that. Then my granddaughter hooked it up. Then I passed the smaller older Dell to a daughter. Its great.

ConsGimme a sec...,uh, maybe, no...
Review:If I could snap my fingers and make the perfect monitor appear on my desk, that had everything I need, it would be this monitor. I still can't believe what I paid for it and I don't mean too much.

Title: Super Happy
Date: January 1, 2009
ProsUpgraded from "old style" bulky terminal. This is like driving a Cadilac vs a Yugo! Bought the soundbar attachment too, which really clears the clutter on the desktop. This way, the speakers are attached right to the monitor and I don't have to worry about them getting knocked over or mixed about with the router, etc.. ConsNone so far.

Title: UltraSharp 2208WFP
Date: December 30, 2008
ProsGood display, good quality construction. Excellent price. ConsI bought this display with the idea to use it on my XPS400 and give my UltraSharp 20" to the boys to use on their new machine. I was disappointed that the new display did not support S-Video or Composite inputs like the older Ultra-Sharp. I would have thought if those had been eliminated they would have been replaced by an HDMI port. I gave the boys the new bigger but less function display and kept my old 20". The upgrade on their new machine from the 20" to 22" display size was relatively inexpensive so I would have taken the size upgrade anyway. Just disappointed in the reduction in input capability.

Title: Excellent monitor

ProsThis is my first LCD monitor. Upgraded from a nice 17" CRT (16.1" viewable). What a difference!
-Crystal clear display. -Tilt and height adjustment on base. -USB ports on monitor. -HDMI input. ConsNone so far. Have only been using this for less than a month.
Review:With the Black Friday discounts, this monitor was around $200.00. For a premium brand of monitor, this price was too tempting to pass up.

Title: Great Monitor!!!!!!!!
Date: December 29, 2008
ProsMy Dell Sony Trinitron monitor was getting ready to die and rather then repair it I thought it was time to upgrade. I did a lot of research on different brands along with reading hundreds of reviews. I saw some negatives on this Dell but I have not had any issues. I think some people have older graphic cards and that will greatly effect your picture. I have used it to watch DVDs and the image is fine with no ghosting. I have also done some photo editing using Adobe photo shop and the colors are fine. I did turn down the brightness a little bit for my taste, other than that this monitor is great. ConsNone that I can think of.
Review:The stand is nice and steady, and I really like all the adjustments for viewing angle.

Title: UltraSharp 2208WFP
Date: December 23, 2008
ProsImage quality is very good, and refresh rate is good enough for me when viewing live or recorded video. Max resolution is excellent for my work (software development). ConsThe base is a bit too bulky, but understandable given the fact that the monitor can flip and rotate. I just have a small amount of space and this base crowds my desktop speakers.
The screen size is still too small to comfortably watch TV/video from more than 10 feety away for me.
Review:Great monitor for work and play so long as you are not expecting the best in breed across all features/catagories. There are better/larger monitors out there, but not for this price.

Title: Terrible choice
Date: December 21, 2008
ProsIt has 2 USB ports and that is all that is good to say about it. ConsWashed out colors, dark at top, light at bottom of screen. Tans are green. Font is sketchy and 'pieced' together, and has an odd rainbow haze around it. I work in Word all day and it is giving me migraines. Pictures are fuzzy and out of focus around the edges. Working inside my remote work desktop, I cant see the font, everything is greener than green and it is intolerable to look at. If I change a setting in one area, the other areas change to something worse than before.
Review:I chose it because it was on sale, big mistake. I should have listened to the other negative reviews and taken heed. I am very disappointed. My cheap Acer that I had for years was much better than this.

Prosgood mechanical design. Bright "crisp" text. Purchased 4 of these (2 for me, 2 for my dad) for general web-browsing & email. Conscolor quality is typical for a TN panel. To call it "great" as some reviewers here have is misleading. Contrast is very dependant upon your viewing angle.
Review:Depending on your usage, this monitor may be just fine for you. With a discount, the price was hard to beat. Dell, if you're reading.. you're watering-down the Ultrasharp name.
