Dell 2209WA 22 inch Monitor

The Dell 2209WA 22 inch Monitor sports an IPS panel rather than the typical consumer TN panels, but at a consumer price.
IPS panels support a wider color gamut and are much brighter than TN panels making them ideal for professional graphics use.
The Dell 2209WA 22 inch Monitor is a professional level monitor available at a consumer price.

There are not a great deal of image controls on the monitor to help reduce the price, but in a graphics application you are going to calibrate the monitor anyway.

Upon receiving my monitor, I let it warm up for an hour and then performed a calibration using a Spyder calibrator. There was barely an adjustment required. The before and after calibration images were almost identical. Very impressive!
Both shadow and highlight detail are clean and accurate. THe monitor is VERY sharp. No softness noticed in either images or text.

Height, tilt and pivot adjustments are smooth simple one hand adjustments.
The ability to rotate to a vertical orientation is great for vertical images!
(NOTE: Your video card software must be compatible with rotating monitor to make use of the ability)

The 22" size is ideal for a dual display graphics setup. The straight sides and narrow bezels make dual display a breeze.
I have Lightroom or Photoshop displayed on one monitor and the image to be edited on the other monitor. This greatly speeds up workflow by reducing the need to zoom in/out as frequently.

A great low cost monitor for graphics pros. Ideal for those that prefer dual displays.
An affordable higher end monitor for consumer or gaming use.
All in all a great monitor for any use.
