Picked up an E228WFP today..

[skeeter144]

Hello,

Today I picked up a Dell E228WFP 22" monitor. Boy.. does it suck!

I figured that it wasn't going to be stellar, but figured what the heck since I can just drop by and return it.

I know it's been asked a million times.. and there are 50 other threads with people asking the same questions.. but not all of them are up to date, and I know newer monitors have been released since then.

I have been trying to find something for months.. waiting for a nice deal, reading forums.. it really sucks researching for so long.


Long story short, this monitor is not up to my expectations. I don't like having the bottom of my screen super bright and the top half as bright (my gray background is almost black on top and light gray on bottom!).

So, can anyone make a suggestion on a monitor preferably around $350.00? I thought about picking up a 2407WFP.. but that might be more real-estate than I need.

Thanks everyone

Hey there,

The LG L227WTG-PF sounds like a great monitor, as does the LG W2252TQ.

Another good looking screen is the Samsung 2253BW, but I wouldn't rate it quite as high as the L227WTG.

Most around here like these three 22" monitors. Seem like good deals for the price, and you can likely get them for less than your budget.

Keep in mind, that the L227WTG is a glossy screen, while the others are matte. If you want the Samsung, there is also a 2232GW which I believe is a glossy monitor that is similar to the 2253BW.

Regards,

You learned that Dell's shittiest monitor is shitty? Goncradulations. Stick to a well reviewed one in the future. Just because PC Magazine likes it doesn't mean that people who AREN'T paid by Dell like it.

Word to the wise - unless you're spending $600+, there is no such thing as a good 22" monitor. That should be a tip off right there.

If you want 1680x1050 resolution, buy a 20" lcd. If you want 1920x1200 resolution, buy a 24". Don't buy any off sized, TN panel garbage monitors.
