Dell Business has the new Dell E228WFP 22" Widescreen Flat Panel LCD Monitor for $259 - $83 code QD3DVQK8GW7Q12 (limited uses) = $176 with free shipping. It offers Analog (VGA) and DVI (Digital Video Interface) connector interface, but not the multitude of other inputs that its predecessors had (it is a budget monitor).

  • 1680x1050 Pixels Resolution, 300 cd/m2 Brightness, 800:1 contrast ratio
  • Viewing angle of 160° — both horizontal and vertical, 5ms response time

      Not too shabby of a price, especially for a Dell. Remember this is the budget line, so it will be a TN panel, but if that isn't a problem for you, then this is a good deal.

      Cheap for a 22-inch, but if you're not getting Dell's Ultrasharp line then you shouldn't expect too much from this budget monitor.

      I run multiple Dell monitors where 2 are Ultrasharps and 1 is a 20" version of this monitor. It is true, I can tell the quality difference of the panels. The non-ultrasharp is usable, but just appears grainy or fuzzy compared to the Ultrasharps.

      Who supplies Dell with their LCD monitor technology? Is this just another brand with Dells logo?

      I normally agree with this sentiment, but some people don't have the extra money.

      Yeah this is a very good price. The Dell monitors are fairly decent...ultrasharps are the best but this monitor at this price is a good deal.

      TN (Twisted Nematic)panels are budget panels that have gotten a bad rap. They are not nearly as good as IPS panels or VA panels, but some people only care about gaming, and need a cheap big monitor. The TN panel is perfect for this.

      got one of these a few days ago as the second in an identical dual-monitor setup. The new one has a VERY different picture than the old (purchased earlier this year)... the old one is crisp, the new one is a bit blurry and has a redish tint. They are identical, although the older one has a "LCD Conditioning" menu option in the OSD, and the new one does not.

      Not sure if it's the case with this monitor, but sometimes the manufacture(s) will change their supplier for the TN panel.

      #11, will you be returning the monitor or is it something you can live with?

      Good deal to set you up with a dual monitor system... but as others have said, the ultrasharps are really great monitors. I have a 20 inch ultrasharp and it is really an amazing monitor.

      Have several of these at work. Good for general use, but look for something better if you use photoshop alot.
