Review on πŸ–₯️ Dell E2216H 21.5" LED Lit Monitor: High-Resolution 1920X1080P Display by Patrick Palh

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Dell E2216 lags behind in technology - boring and outdated

I bought this monitor from Dell, which by the way I will never make again, and I didn't like it at all. It had a vintage look with thick bezels around the screen and came with a desktop DP cable and a VGA cable. I should have read the connection stats more closely, but I'll admit I'm used to monitors with VG cables and figured this was what I needed. Instead I needed HDMI or DVI. I can't comment on the picture, brightness etc because I couldn't connect it to anything I had. I sent it back to Dell at the end of October 2015 the day after receiving it but I'm still fighting for a refund 3 months later even though they admit I should get a refund and they also admit they keep making money. Mistake. After returning this I bought an Acer R240HY from Revain. Was 2 days with Prime (compared to 8 days shipping with Dell). Acer is almost bezel-less, has HDMI, DVI and VGA, and the picture is sharp and clear. I only bought through Dell because I get a contract discount with my company, but the Acer was larger, 23.8 inches compared to the 22-inch Dell, and it was slightly cheaper than the Dell. I'm sorry I didn't order through Revain. first, and I'll probably have to write off a refund for the Dell monitor.

Pros
  • Dell
