    Dell 2209WA proves to me that the IPS panel is still far better than the TN panels used in most monitors today. I’m impressed with the 2209WA just like I was when I reviewed the 27" S-PVA Dell 2709W. 2209WA is the first mainstream 22-inch screen with an IPS panel and it transfers all of the qualities of the IPS panel to the 22" segment, which is dominated by the inexpensive and inferior TN panels.

    • Black level not as deep as on S-PVA panels, No HDMI

    The 2209WA is a monitor with very few flaws. While we'd love to see 1:1 scaling, and the inset screen may cause some users grief, we wouldn't mind two of these sitting on our desk. This is the best 22-inch monitor we've seen. Read more

    • 22-inch IPS panel, Excellent colour and viewing angles, Great gaming performance, Fantastic price
    • No 1:1 scaling, Inset monitor can cause reflections on bezel, and shadow on monitor

  1. Better than anything you can find in a store

    My decade-old CRT monitor had gotten to the point where it looked too dim in a pitch black room, so I figured it was time to retire it. I did a bit of shopping around, looked at reviews, and decided to go for the Viewsonic VX2250WM-LED since it was very well reviewed, a good size and very affordable. I found it at a local store as cheap as it is on Amazon, bought it, took it home and installed it. Read more

    I bought the Dell 2209wa for photo editing and did not want to spend a huge amount on super high end monitors. My work load doesn't justify the extra expense. This monitor is 22" and has great colors, perfect size and price. I would recommend this monitor over the Bestbuy gaming type for low volume photo editing. Read more

    This is a good monitor! You could get one for the same size for cheaper elsewhere under a different brand, but so far I am happy with it. I had an older 19" one, but this one seems a lot brighter and so much bigger, even though it's only 4". I'm happy with it. Read more

    Been using it for a year and with a monitor calibrator it is a VERY good option for photo editing with an eye on budget (of course you could always go "the eizo way" if you have tons of money in your pockets) Read more

    I ordered the 2209WA about a year ago and am very happy with the colour quality however from the first time I opened it it had a very strong chemical smell. After a month or two it started to fade off but after a year I still feel a tightness in my throat every time I use it. I've used many other displays before and have never had this problem.
