Dell 2209WA deemed best 22-inch LCD

CNET has published the first review of the new Dell 2209WA LCD display and says it's the best 22" LCD display they've ever seen. The 22" IPS panel offers excellent color and viewing angles, and gives great gaming performance at a good price. You can read the full review over here, the biggest drawback is that it doesn't offer 1:1 scaling.
Dell's 2209WA is a screen, we expect, that will be snapped up rather quickly. It's an eIPS based, 22-inch screen with a resolution of 1,680x1,050, 300cd/m² brightness, 1,000:1 typical contrast ratio monitor, with a 6ms grey-to-grey response time — and it's only AU$459.

Dell quotes an 83 per cent coverage of the CIE1976 gamut — for reference, the 3008WFP weighs in at 117 per cent, and the 2709W and 2408WFP at 110 per cent of CIE1976. Regardless, colour representation is excellent without the tendency to ramp the reds and greens, a trait often seen with today's "wide gamut" monitors.
