In this I am not disappointed. I can read all of my email just fine and very clear and crisp. Also suprisingly my outlook email now shows folder layouts on the left, the list of email headers , then the preview screen which accomodates a full browser page, then the to do list summary... all on this one screen due to its width. I admit the monitor sort of looks stretched horizontally, but I find it extrememly useful. It can show 2 browser windows side by side no problem. So far I am very happy. I also use photoshop elements as a hobby and the pictures look great. Not sure about color management settings, etc, but I know that there are expensive monitors with those attributes. I hope my printouts come close to what I see. I took the chance by going inexpensive. But I'll find out in time..really haven't done enough with that yet to tell...Read more 17 of 19 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: Dell S2209W 22-Inch LCD Widescreen Monitor (Personal Computers) This monitor can be used for any purpose. I've tested Crysis and other demanding games on it, and there is no problem with the monitor's refresh rate, 60hz. It is usually suggested to use a CRT for gaming, but with newer LCDs I can't see any degrade in performance/appearance (especially with a good brand). Games look great in this HD monitor. Unable to test Blu-Ray, but with Amazon's In-Demand HD movies, I played a sample, and it looked pretty good. Also tested other Hi-Resolution files, and they are very good looking. For viewing movies, normal DVDs just look good enough, seems to be on par with other LCDs.
Concerning DVD quality, it has more to do with the DVD encoding and their native resolution, rather than the monitor. For example, a DVD I tested only had 640x480 resolution, that is fairly low and when upscaled, you can see a lot of compression and artifacts. The problem is amplified by the fact it is a computer monitor, and you are typically a foot or so away, and...Read more 20 of 24 people found the following review helpful: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Dell S2209W 22-Inch LCD Widescreen Monitor (Personal Computers) Having held out against LCD monitors with great skepticism, I was finally forced to make the change after the failure of my trusty old giant CRT monitor. Part of my resistance to LCDs was the horrible monitor on the fairly new 20-inch IMac that I use at work (the worst computer I've ever had the pleasure to have known, but that's another story). The Dell monitor is definitely an overall improvement in size, color quality, and wear and tear on the ole' eyeballs. My graphic, video and web development work ranges from Photoshop, InDesign, Quark, Dreamweaver, Flash, AfterEffects, and Premiere. On all of the above, the monitor looks great. I haven't taken the color calibration to the levels of madness that some graphic artists go to (it just seems to be a huge waste of energy - every printing press, every monitor, and every television is off-calibration to some degree; it is frustratingly impossible to get a perfect setting for multimedia.) With very minor tweaking, the Dell...Read more |
