Hi everyone! Haven't posted here in over a year. I made my first thread in January 2008 to get some suggestions on the HP w2207 TN monitor. Back then it cost me about 330 bucks + tax. I bought it, and was only semi happy with my purchase.
Back light bleed was bad, had some dead pixels, viewing angles were horrible, yeah. Typical stuff for a TN I guessed. Still, it was better than the LG it replaced.
I soon ran into another issue that annoyed the hell out of me. Was playing WoW and noticed the about 1 inch of the top of my display was loghter that the other parts. It seemed like bleed but it wasn't, because it looked like it was a perfect "line".
I am currently using this monitor. it's not half bad, but I am just picky and love to have the best.
So I surf slickdeals.net and see a thread with the 2209WA for 212 bucks. for an IPS panel, I thought to myself "not bad". I read that this monitor is supposedly the best 22 incher, which is all my desk can hold.
TL;DR
Is this monitor worth it, even if I have an okay TN panel? Will I notice the difference? Are these the similar kind of panels that are in Apple Cinema displays? is the "Color gamut" and low contrast bad? I am so confused Thanks
