Hello everyone,
I'm in the market right now to purchase a new monitor. I'd like to get a 22in widescreen monitor, for that size is the largest monitor within my price range right now. I'm also a fan of Dell's monitors. I've own two of them thus far, a 17in LCD and a 19in LCD, and I have had nothing but good experiences with them. I'm currently using the 19in Dell, which is several years old now.
Things I use my monitor for:
- All kinds of application work for things like school, web design, video editing, image editing, etc.
- Gaming, I've mainly been focusing on the new games on the block like CoD4, TF2, Bioshock, Crysis, but I play slightly older games and old games as well, like C&C3, CS:Source, HL2 series, etc.
- Movie watching. My entire movie collection is widescreen, so watching them on a new widescreen monitor rather than my 4:6 19in Dell Monitor would be a welcomed improvement.
Reasons for wanting to upgrade:
- Larger screen and resolution will allow me to work better with multiple applications (side by side for example)
- Some of the recent games I've played like Bioshock and Portal have caused lines that appear to be separations between frames, which show up on my 19in dell monitor. Upgrading to a new monitor with a better response time and contrast ratio will hopefully only improve my gaming experience.
- Widescreen monitor will be a lot better for widescreen movies.
So basically I'm look for some opinions and suggestions about Dell's 22in monitor products. If anyone has any of them and can offer a review, that would be very helpful. I've primarily been looking at getting the DELL SP2208WFP
22-inch Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor, however the other 2 models offered are also being heavily considered.
Dell monitor candidates:
DELL SP2208WFP - http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...etail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-6252
DELL ULTRASHARP 2208WFP - http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...etail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-6107
DELL E228WFP - http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...etail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-5205
Also, just because I'm a fan of Dell monitors, doesn't mean I'm opposed to purchasing a different brand monitor. If anyone can suggest a monitor better worth it than the three I'm looking at, please do! Thanks in advance!
