So I'm considering getting this monitor for about 200$. Can anybody who has this monitor tell me how it is and tell me how gaming is and post any screenshots? Thanks in advance
 
I have a 226bw with the S-panel. Looks awesome, great colors, for a TN. Almost no input lag, great black levels, 2ms grey to grey response time ( I certainly don't notice any ghosting), good horizontal viewing angles. Vertical viewing angles are pretty bad, but as long as you're looking at the screen dead on or from above, and aren't looking up at the monitor, you'll be fine.
The stand has tilt but no vertical movement.

I play a lot of TF2, and some Eve / Stalker / Oblivion / BF2 / ET:QW. No input lag, no ghosting, great colors. Fantastic choice for a gaming and web browsing monitor.
 
The only down side is the panel lottery you play with the 226bw, mine is an S-Panel and rapes face for a TN but you have a chance of getting a low grad panel as well. but for 200 for a 22" i'd go for it its a good deal
 
I have this, it's a great monitor. Though I am upgrading to a 37inch, this one was great. For gaming it runs great and I use it watch blueray and play ps3 games as well.
 
Does anyone have a website on how to fix like the calibration and stuff for models that aren't the S model?
 
I don't think you will be able to get an S panel now. The 226BW has been discontinued the ones still available are left over stock which all had the crappy panels.
 
I dont have the calibration for a s but I do have one for the C panel which is the one I have.
I love this monitor hopefully in Christmas I'll upgrade to something bigger.
