- amazing lcd for the price.
- has an e-ips panel, which is better that pva and FAR superior tn panels
- can occasionally be purchased for around $200 shipped. for example: recently back on sale for $208 Text
I can't wait for Stateside reviewers to get hold of these. At $300 (US), it will easily sweep the board of 22-inch displays if it truly is an IPS display. With Apple moving to 24-inches for their midlevel Cinema Display, I don't know if there are any 22 or 23-inch IPS monitors out there.

I'd like to see one of these for sale next to a TN panel to better compare.
I've used Dell Ultrasharp monitors in the past, but never side by side with TN panels. I always thought they looked good, just not sure it was worth the premium over TN panels. Maybe if I saw it side by side. I think something like this would be worth it over a TN if it was going to also be used for watching movies areas of a room where the greater viewing angle will come in handy.
Is response time not so much an issue with non-TN panel LCD's these days? I know that was their downfall in the past, at least for gaming applications.

I'd be really tempted to ditch my CRTs for one of these if coupons start floating around.

If the price is right during a sale, it'd be a pretty interesting. Though I already got an NEC 20WMGX2, would there even be any point in getting that 2209WA.
Just found out I can get it for $249 through the campus computer store with alumni and old club association discounts...shit...do I do it?
I'd have to sell my laptop and CRT to get the money, but I don't use my laptop and well, the CRT wouldn't be used either if I did.

Last week it was unclear whether the 2209WA was in fact an IPS panel. Over on Hard|Forum, there are punters who claim to have confirmed its IPS goodness with Dell reps and obtained special deals ordering over the 'phone ($210 rather than $300)!
No one appears to have received the displays yet, and there are no Stateside reviews still.
If this is confirmed as 1.) IPS and 2.) good samples (ie adequate quality assurance), I recommend ordering straight away, as the turn of the Dell panel lottery will inevitably yield a crappy TN panel in this model eventually.
I suspect we'll see confirmation by the end of the week.

That's a great price - hard to pass that one up. Good luck selling a CRT, though. I can't even them them away at work (19" trinitrons).
As long as the specs say 178 degree viewing angles on the website, it can't be a TN panel. Pending input lag measurements, this could be the cheap widescreen IPS panel a lot of people have been waiting for,

Surely this must be a trick by Dell. Introduce an excellent, cheap, high-quality IPS-driven LCD, then once the reviews are in replace the guts with the cheapest TN they can get and call it the same thing.

This look's like a great buy for anyone who wants a quality 22inch monitor; especially for anyone who wants to do some photo-editing or needs a good viewing angle. Add some coupons to this price and this would be very sweet at ~$250.00.

wow, you dont get the input lag test do you. http://www.hiboox.fr/go/images...76b0df4a72512.jpg.html
you have to take the picture while the clock is running not when it is stopped. sorry 0 input lag on any lcd is pretty much impossible. (clue: the flatpaneldk app has the start button showing instead of the pause button)
