"Dell E228WFP 22" Widescreen Not Good"
Pros: Great Price
Cons: Monitor Display
Summary: I am extremely disappointed in the Dell E228WFP 22" Widescreen. The price is great
for your normal everyday web surfing and misc apps. But not for graphic design. I have an ULTRA SHARP 2005 20" WS. The color is vivid. Viewing angles are great, sitting down, standing up, from the side, on your head. On the Dell E228WFP 22" Widescreen and after using an external monitor calibration tool, the color is dull, angles are poor (if i stand, colors get washed out). Very, very disappointed. I guess you get what you pay for. On top of that i went dual screen so i have two Dell E228WFP 22" Widescreen that will be going back to DELL. Now i have to tell my wife that i need the ULTRA SHARP back or drop another $300 for two ULTRA SHARP 2007 20" WS. Not going to be a good weekend for me.
PS. Nothing on the DELL website says anthing about the screen colors, although the "SALES" rep told me that the color is more vivid with the ULTRA SHARP. And he told me this before i complained about the quality on the Dell E228WFP 22" Widescreen.

A little whiny are we? I have one of these E228WFP's ( as purchased with a system ),and am very happy with it in all respects. No one should expect to get a monitor of this size and expect to use it for professional use for the price this thing goes for. I guess you expect Ferrari performance out of your Corolla. Whatever.

Dude...sorry, but what did you expect for $300? If you had done your research, you would have KNOWN that Dell makes it pretty clear that if you're looking for "graphicphile" display quality, you need to go with their "UltraSharp" line. Which, you are right, is about $300 increase. I spent a whole 20 mins researching the purchase of this monitor (and I have one right now), and knew this. Everyone in my family thinks it is FABULOUS for the price.

you got the wrong monitor for the job. And do you really do graphic design standing up?
