Dell e-IPS LCD Monitor Special

2009-02-18 by Peter De Smidt

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.)

As you may know, most LCD panels aren\u2019t very good for photo editing. 
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.
