Dell recently came out with a 22\u2033 monitor with an e-IPS panel that\u2019s getting some good buzz. It regularly retails for $299, but there are rumors of a special deal. Using the live chat feature on their small business site, I was just able to order the monitor for $213 plus tax, shipping included. (I had called earlier today, but the salesperson said that the best price was $285, which is still a great price on an e-IPS monitor.)

This is because most LCD\u2019s are TN panels, which are the cheapest to produce and tend to have good response times for games and movies, but they have poor uniformity, and the image will change if you move your head. Good photo editing LCDs are usually IPS panels, such as those used in the Apple Imac. Dell\u2019s 2209WA uses an e-IPS panel from LG. \u201cE\u201d probably means \u201ceconomy.\u201d It probably isn\u2019t as good as the higher priced (much higher priced!!!) IPS monitors, but the word on the street is that it\u2019s pretty good. When it arrives, I\u2019ll let everyone know my impressions.
