Title: Tried & Returned Another Brand, Kept the Dell
Date: February 4, 2008
ProsClear easy to read letters 4 USB Ports Does not crash my computer Vibrant colors No (that is "0") power use when off ConsBacklight around edges when black screen The adjustable stand does not move very much Tilt adjusts to picture good and clear top to bottom & side to side, but there is not a wide range. Someone looking over your shoulder or beside you will see a faded screen
Review:I have used this monitor for a few months. I had bought another brand because it was highly recommended and people had complained about the quality of the Dell monitors. The other brand monitor's software crashed my computer even though my computer met all the stated requirements. Even before it crashed my computer, all fonts were blurry. I returned that computer and tried the Dell. I am very happy with the Dell. No dead or fixed pixels. Other moniors run some electricity even when turned off. The Dell is really off when you turn it off. I use my computer at home for all communication, so it is important to have clear, sharp fonts. But I also play games. I have been completely satisfied with the Dell. I am not a graphic artist and do not run more than one computer, so I do not need to worry about fine tuning the colors. I had been waiting for a 22" widescreen monitor to come along with USB ports at a reasonable price. This is it. And if you get it on sale like I did, you'll get a monitor that meets all basic computing needs with the extras of a monitor twice the price.

Title: Ultra Sharp 2208WFP
Date: February 1, 2008
ProsThe screen is large and text is very sharp. I did have to lower the brightness a bit, but the user controls are good. The adjustable stand is great and the USB ports are very useful. . I like that the screen is matte, not glossy, so that overhead lighting does not have reflections. There were no dead pixels. ConsThere is some backlight bleed, but for my home use, this is not a big deal

Title: Excellent Monitor For the Money
Date: February 1, 2008
ProsLarge Real Estate,Easy to set up excellent Visual Quality,Went from Dell 17 in LCD to this What a difference it makes Easier controls to use.My original soundbar for the 17 in LCD hooks right up to this monitor,to my surprise!!!USB Ports are a plus too. ConsDid find a slight backlight bleed in the lower left corner but it has no effect on what I usually Do.Does not effect movies or video editing or graphics,which I am not A professional in these areas.
Review:For the Money this is the best quality monitor. I feel it is a good monitor for everyday use and gaming etc.Although Professional Graphics and Videographers may want to choose a higher end Monitor

Pros-Cheap -DVI with cables -VGA with cables -The hight adjustable stand is Excellent. Easy to use and fully adjustable. -Black rim provides better visibility -great menu that makes it easy to change settings. -Simple in general. Easy to set up. Easy to use. -Plug and play. Works with macs as well as PC's. -Doesn't take up that much space depth-wise on a desk. The stand has a small footprint that makes it easy to place. -4 USB hub Cons-There is a nasty color bleed of over three inches on the sides when the screen is showing something dark. -Text can come out quite pixelated even at a low res.
Review:-it might be nice to have another video input such as RCA or s-video. -the pixel patch could be smaller but that would make it more expensive. A small trade off. overall a good monitor thats great for the money. The large size allows it to be seen from a distance, but in the dark areas the color bleed can be frustrating. I would like to give it a 3.5 overall, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt and rated it a 4.

Title: Love/Hate
Date: January 29, 2008
ProsThe extra wide color gamut is awesome. There's a noticeable increase in intensity. You'll notice subtle differences in color you aren't able to in older monitors. ConsVertical viewing range is HORRIBLE. Looking straight at the monitor, the same color will look different at the top of the screen than it does at the bottom.

Title: Excellent Monitor
Date: January 28, 2008
ProsI wondered if this monitor was over the top and too much. Absolutely NOT. This is an excellent monitor even if it was expensive which it is not. At this price - you can't beat it. Easy to install for both laptops. 1st system uses XP Pro and 2nd system uses Win Vista and both used the monitor immediately with no configuration. ConsNone that I can think of.

ProsGreat monitor! The stand and build quality are excellent. Great range of adjustment and easy The design is attractive and has very small footprint. Screen size is perfect for my desk. The added screen area from the widescreen is awesome. Just as another reviewer stated before me, I am writing this review with a TV window open next to this page. The picture quality is excellent once set up correctly (use the manual R,G,B mode to tweak). Games look great in 1680x1050, with absolutely no ghosting! Video playback is great, but did require some color adjustments. Picture is sharp, colors are vivid and accurate. Matte finish is great with no glare. The extra USB ports are convenient. Overall a great monitor! ConsThere is a little bit of backlight bleed along the top and bottom edge near the center of the screen that doesn't appear affect picture quality at all. Viewing angle isn't the greatest but for me its well within the realm of acceptable. About all else I can say is no 1920X1200 res.
Review:Despite some of the bad reviews I read, I am extremely happy my decision to purchase this monitor. You really can't get much better for the price. Also, Dell had the monitor to me via DHL in TWO days! System Specs: Athlon X2 4200+ Toledo @ 2.7Ghz, Abit Fatal1ty AN8, 2GB Corsair XMS 2.5-3-3-6, 512MB EVGA 7950GT KO @ 630Mhz core & 1.6Ghz memory, LeadTek Winfast HDTV Cinema, 2 SeaGate Barracudas, Silverstone DA-650 PSU, Sony optical drives, Windows XP Professional.

Title: DELL 2208WFP Initial Review
Date: January 24, 2008
ProsOutstanding case and stand design, especially the adjustable features of the stand. All very sturdy and sharp looking. Good packaging and fast delivery. The 22” widescreen format is stunning for photos and games and very functional for working with multiple documents. Outstanding picture quality . . . but a LOT of work to get it there. Initial “plug and play” picture quality is not good. ConsOut of the box the display is way too bright with washed out color at the edges and especially at the bottom almost like the white backlights are too close to the screen. Attempts to adjust using the display’s on screen display/built in controls were frustrating and not successful to the point of almost putting it back in the box for return. Finally tried the adjustment tools with my graphics card for color/gamma, brightness, contrast, sharpness, etc. and within 10-15 min got to a beautiful picture. The 22” widescreen format is hard to get used to initially with things either stretched out/distorted or too small when you go to the new higher resolution. It’s taking a lot of time and adjustments to get to a comfortable format. One reason for buying the larger widescreen was so that things are bigger and easier on the eyes . . . not necessarily true!

Title: Very nice wide screen monitor
Date: January 24, 2008
ProsVery sharp. I do digital retouch and have been hesitant to use a LCD monitor but have been delighted with the sharpness and color on all 3 of these we have in the retouching department. Lots of USB connections if you want to connect on your desk with external devices but do not want to hook up to your computer directly. Consnone yet

Date: January 21, 2008
ProsGreat size, good stand, great price. ConsTerrible color. Reds are almost fluorescent, no matter how you adjust it. But even worse, there is a dramatic color shift across the screen, more red at the top and more green at the bottom.
Review:I have an old 19" Dell monitor (on another computer) that is so far superior to this monitor I cannot compare them. What went wrong Dell?

Title: Quick Delivery - Quality Product
Date: January 21, 2008
ProsFirst of all, the monitor was delivered by DHL Friday evening, only 3 days after the order was placed. This quick service has been our experience with all other Dell purchases we have made in the past. The monitor provides a highly defined view whether the subject is text, video or picture image. The colors are accurate, although some adjustment is needed depending on the subject matter or use. Dell makes that easy on this model with a user friendly control method. The design is appealing. Height adjustment, tilt and rotation to portrait view all are easy to operate. The screen has an anti-glare finish and the black framed screen help make prolonged viewing a pleasant task. I do some graphic desin work, web development and quite a lot of photo editing. This monitor does well with those tasks. The 22" size provides the space needed to keep several applications open. Very easy to organize the desktop when multi-taking. 4 USB ports readily available facilitate accessory use - very nice.
Review:Very nice product that fits my needs well.

Title: Not the Greatest, but not the Worst
Date: January 20, 2008
ProsVery Vibrant colors, Case design is very cool. And its a darn good price. -Unless your a graphics professional, youll probably be ok. ConsIf you are looking DEAD ON at this monitor, then its pretty darn good. But if you glance to the TOP... the screen will be slightly darker.. if you glance DOWN.. it will be slightly Lighter. - If you make the screen BLACK.. you can see white ghosting on the edge of the whole screen. - If your doing graphics of any kind, look elsewhere.
Review:I tried like HECK to like this monitor. I bought 2 of these things, and just LOVED the way they looked on my desk. But when I sat in front of them I couldnt ignore the color gradient that happens. If you are just surfing the web, and putzing around with games and whatnot.. youll probably be ok. But if you need to use this in any sort of graphics capacity, I would look elsewhere. I am returning these to Costco where I bought them, and will probably purchase the UltraSharp 2407wfp-HC which everyone seems to love.

Title: Bad choice
Date: January 19, 2008
ProsNice style, easy set up. Good for surfing internet but thats about it. ConsTerrible picture quality. I purchased this for gaming on my new XPS 420 and can't even play my games. If I stand still the it looks great but as soon as I start to move it gets all blurry. It is totally unplayable. I adjusted all the settinigs on monitor and then graphics card and nothing worked. I then hooked it up to my old computer and had the same problems so it is not the computer.
