hi, im looking to buy a new 22" monitor for playing Aion. I was looking at the... Dell UltraSharp 2209WA 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor or the Samsung P2270 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor Im not bothered about viewing angle as i sit straight in front of it. Which would be best for me - the higher res on the samsung or the ips panel of the Dell ? oh btw my card is a 8800gt 512mb... thx
thx for replies guys... yeah, i know the res is only 1680 x 1050 on the Dell....but alot of people say having the ips screen makes up for that...thats whats making me confused
Have just bought the Dell from OcUK...special offer this week atm im using a Samsung Syncmaster 191T...its lasted me 7 years & its been great...but time to move on i guess
I bought the 2209WA for my sister a few months ago. I spend a bit of time on it when I'm back at home (main PC usually at uni) and I can attest that it is a fantastic screen. I am comparing it to my 2709W - and it stands up brilliantly. Agreed, it is a smaller, lower resolution monitor than the s2409w but in my mind it is a question of quality versus quantity. For the sake of 2 inches the 2209WA is definitely worth it.
As cmndr_andi has already stated - they're an exceptional monitor and at £185 they're great value. I have two and cannot envisage upgrading for a long time - other than to perhaps buy a third as a luxury item. Plus, it's an IPS panel so has good: colour reproduction, viewing angles and response times - coupled with DELL customer service which is fantastic (which was a major selling point for me as they drop off your replacement before they take the old one away so you're never without a monitor.)
