Dell UltraSharp 2209WA Black Widescreen Monitor - Enhanced for Wide Screen Experience Review

The main seller (third party) sent the monitor in a very timely manner. Good service. Everything has arrived in good condition. I am very happy with the monitor - the color is great for photos. I got very frustrated using it with other programs and ended up calling Dell support. I didn't realize that you really need to work on the resolution and change it for other programs you use like Excel and Mail and Word and whatnot. I even ended up changing some of the font and font size so the text…

This is possibly the best solution as flat screens were released with some limitations. I researched them beforehand and found they had their issues, but it seemed like they had been fixed, and at the price I was quoted. .two twelve each, I had to give them a chance. Some issues with tint and red paint have been reported. And no matter what I do to calibrate mine, there's definitely a bit of green that just can't be adjusted properly. It's not annoying 99% of the time, but if you need it, it's…

I bought it on sale from Dell for $225 and I have to say it outperforms my now second monitor (Samsung) in terms of color accuracy. And I like my Samsung monitor but not for photo editing anymore. When researching other IPS monitors, I found that this is the only one in the price range that I could afford. I'd like to compare it to the $600+ Apple Cinema Display, but I think for almost 1/3 the price I'll stick with it. I use this for my side photography so accurate colors were a must. It is…

I've had my 2209WA for about 10 months now and am enjoying every minute of it. This is the first monitor that allowed me to finally ditch my trusty £50 Sony Trinitron after enduring the LCD revolution. I discovered the difference between different types of LCD panels after purchasing an established LCD (from a competitor) only to experience the horrible color reproduction, 6-bit posterization and vertical viewing angle* issues of the TN panel find. The 2209WA has none of these problems. As a…

I really like this monitor! This is a great seller who shipped the monitor the next day after payment was received. I received the monitor in very good condition in about 5 days. The monitor was very well packaged in original DELL packaging. Ultra clear and accurate resolution, this Dell IPS monitor is great for viewing and imaging! Thank you :) Mike

I bought a Dell 2209WA to replace my standard Hanns-G 199N 19" flat screen. I create fantasy art in Photoshop and need accurate color across the entire screen. I needed the same quality on a widescreen monitor. You normally get a TN panel for gaming because of the super refresh rate, an MVA panel for movies because of more realistic blacks, and an IPS panel for graphics and art because of consistent colors It turns out that the e-IPS 2209WA panel (a budget version of IPS ) is very close in…

My ten year old CRT monitor got too dim in total darkness so I decided it was time to get rid of it. I did a bit of shopping and looking at the reviews and settled on the Viewsonic VX2250WM LED as it got great reviews, a good size and a very reasonable price. I found it as cheap as Revain at a local store, bought it, brought it home and installed it. The first thing I noticed was that the top of the screen was significantly darker than the bottom. I was a little surprised at how bad things are.

I am very happy with this Dell monitor. Good product. The color is better than my other monitors. The seller sent and I received the monitor very quickly.

I take my photography/hobby/small business seriously, but I'm by no means computer savvy. My small screen on my Mac Book wasn't suited to the work I wanted to do with my photos, so I started looking for a larger screen that would get the job done at a much lower price point than Apple's large monitor. After doing a little research, I found that I wanted one with IPS LCD technology ([.]) [.] And while it's only a 22-inch (diagonal) screen, it's perfect for my needs . I've also read reviews that…

This is a very good IPS monitor, but it's not as good as it could be. Because the 2209WA monitor uses IPS (In-Plane Switching) technology instead of today's common TN (Twisted Nematic) technology, the 2209WA doesn't have the color shift and limited viewing angle issues common to much cheaper TN monitors. While the 16:10 aspect ratio is excellent, it gives you about an inch more height and about 10% more screen real estate than a 22-inch 16:9 aspect ratio screen. It has a resolution of only 1680

I totally agree with the previous reviewer. I have searched long and hard for a replacement for my aging Trinitron CRT. I work with photos and the usual low cost TN based panels just did NOT meet my actual color photo editing needs. *shudders* So an expensive IPS or (P)VA monitor seemed like the only option. But I'm also a gamer and fast response time is very important. The xVA panels just couldn't keep up and were a few frames behind at best! Then you had to have IPS, but they cost $600 or…

In a word: THIS IS NOT A TN PANEL! What a massive difference from the crappy TN panel monitors that the manufacturer deliberately hides in the spec, embarrassed to say these are TN panel monitors.

This monitor is a real breakthrough. eIPS technology makes an excellent monitor available at a really affordable price. It was easy to install and worked great for the month I've had it. The colors are very true. This is a great monitor for amateur photo editing. The screen rotates easily so pages and photos can be viewed in portrait orientation. The only downside is that Dell is having a hard time keeping up with sales and it was very difficult to find.
