  Dell E228WFP 22" Widescreen Not Good

  Summary: I am extremely disappointed in the Dell E228WFP 22" Widescreen. The price is great
  for your normal everyday web surfing and misc apps. But not for graphic design. I have an ULTRA SHARP 2005 20" WS. The color is vivid. Viewing angles are great, sitting down, standing up, from the side, on your head. On the Dell E228WFP 22" Widescreen and after using an external monitor calibration tool, the color is dull, angles are poor (if i stand, colors get washed out). Very, very disappointed. I guess you get what you pay for. On top of that i went dual screen so i have two Dell E228WFP 22" Widescreen that will be going back to DELL. Now i have to tell my wife that i need the ULTRA SHARP back or drop another $300 for two ULTRA SHARP 2007 20" WS. Not going to be a good weekend for me.
  
  PS. Nothing on the DELL website says anthing about the screen colors, although the "SALES" rep told me that the color is more vivid with the ULTRA SHARP. And he told me this before i complained about the quality on the Dell E228WFP 22" Widescreen.

  Amazing value, adequate color

  by thassett on February 9, 2007

  Pros: Price, case and stand design, DVI input

  Cons: Color accuracy, no height adjustment

  Summary: I just bought a new MacBook Pro and needed a value priced external display to hook up to it. This 22" Dell LCD for about $330.00 hit the spot. Its case and stand design are sleek compared to some of the other designs out there. (except maybe Apple's awesome but pricey displays) If you are looking for spot-on color accuracy and ultra high resolutions, this display is not for you.
  
  But if you are looking for some more real estate for normal tasks such as web browsing, e-mail, MS Office documents, instant messaging, etc, this display will definitely meet your needs. Value is what this is all about.

  Great monitor, don't trust the reviews

  by Sphere360 on April 30, 2008

  Pros: Great color and viewing angle. It's very bright, but that's why I bought an LCD in the first place. The images are very clear. Solid monitor.

  Cons: The stand only tilts, it does not slide up and down. No big deal.

  Summary: Don't trust the reviews. You can read reviews all day and someone is still going to bad mouth a product. I have read tons of reviews on CNET and ...

  Summary: Don't trust the reviews. You can read reviews all day and someone is still going to bad mouth a product. I have read tons of reviews on CNET and NewEgg. There is no perfect monitor or perfect reviewer. I trusted my experience and bought this monitor. I am very pleased.

  Terrific Quality for the Price

  by r2vj on August 29, 2007

  Pros: More desktop space for little extra money

  Cons: Nothing as of yet, seems to be working fine

  Summary: This is a highly recommended product, if you are not going to play - hi-tech (latest) games.

  Big and Wide for Small $

  by big_daddy_mpd on July 23, 2008

  Pros: Excellent max resolution for the money, Nice, narrow form factor including stand base. DVI and RGB plugs.

  Cons: Can display white text on black background as it "flips" modes during loading games, etc...

  Summary: Let's get this straight...for less than $280, you shouldn't expect 1680X1250 resolution, 22in, and wide angle continuity. If you get it, be thankful, and move on. 5 ...

  Summary: Let's get this straight...for less than $280, you shouldn't expect 1680X1250 resolution, 22in, and wide angle continuity. If you get it, be thankful, and move on. 5 years ago, I got a 22 inch Sony LCD monitor at work. It cost my company $1500. This is as good, if not better, at much lower price. The toggleable RGB/DVI mode makes it so that when I bring my laptop home from work, and need a "larger screen", I can plug my laptop into this thing...toggle to RGB, and go to town with 22in diag of real-estate.

  Bang For Your Buck!

  Summary: This monitor is great for the money. You can't beat it right now really. However, if you demand great picture quality, you might want to look else where. I agree with a lot of the other reviewers regarding this monitor's performance. The back lighting is a problem, and the color and contrast aren't the greatest. However, it suits me because I wasn't looking for a high end monitor anyway. It gets the job done just fine.

  Great for price

  by step314 on February 3, 2007

  Summary: This monitor is spectacular, especially considering price. The factory-set color, etc., settings needed a fair amount of tweaking, which was easy using the Display Optimization Wizard that is in the NVIDIA driver that is with with my ancient 6200 PCI video card. After doing this, it looks perfect to my untrained eye. It has no height adjustment, which doesn't bother me inasmuch as I have a monitor stand/paper holder which puts it up to the height I want (and the monitor can be swivelled up-and-down somewhat). There is no adjustment to swivel the monitor sideways, but again, that is no problem since the monitor is so light one can rotate it on the easy-to-slide feet. I downloaded a game taxing of my video card (voyage century), and the game looks fine to me, and so do photographs, documents, you name it. No dead pixels. I was so expecting something to be wrong given the price I lol first thought there was a dead line of pixels at top, but it was just a space between the display and the reflection off the inside of the frame framing the display.

  Nice monitor ! Great bang for buck !!

  Summary: I was a little worried when I jumped on this monitor as soon as I saw it on Dell's website. Most of the reviews I found were stating poor performace and major design issues. Well I've had mine since 1/19/07 and I'm loving it. Sure there are other 22" monitors that put this one to shame when it comes to picture quality and fancy extra features but they don't cost $296. This monitor works fine for me. I haven't noticed any light bleeding that others have mentioned. There is no buzzing noise, unusual bright spots or dead pixels. I've played Links 2003 and Jedi Outkast so far and haven't noticed any ghosting issues. I think a lot of people are expecting way too much from this monitor. I know the Dell site tries to make it sound like the end-all be-all but it's basically a budget monitor and to that end it does the job very well. If you want big size without the big price tag give this monitor a shot.

  Good value, merely adequate performance

  by kthwht00 on January 18, 2007

  Pros: Price (half the cost of their 24 inch)

  Cons: Limited flexibility (no swivel, height or orientation adjustment, but does have tilt). Doesn't have the sharpness or natural color of best-in-class monitors

  Summary: Unviewable out of the box, but after tuning it's adequate (turn the red down, adjust the "phase" and "pixel clock" whatever those are). Nice low price. I also have ...

  Summary: Unviewable out of the box, but after tuning it's adequate (turn the red down, adjust the "phase" and "pixel clock" whatever those are). Nice low price. I also have their 24", which is more than twice as expensive, but if you're picky it may be worth it for extra size, better picture and flexibility. The 22" tilts, but doesn't have swivel, height, or rotate (to vertical orientation) adjustments like my 24".
