Dell e228wfp for free- question

[backwardsK126]

So I'm waiting for the parts of my i7 build to arrive and I was looking to get a new monitor and this time luck was on my side because a really good friend of mine had a dell e228wfp sitting around. To make a long story short, he actually ended up getting it for free due to a shipping mess up on their part and hasn't used it ever (still in the box actually). Anyways he gave me the monitor to save me a good $200 bucks on the order. I was just wondering if it is a good monitor to use for decent gaming and also photoshop and everything else. Or, should I get a refund (if thats possible?) and get a different monitor; if so, which one.

Thanks
