The monitor goes black after a few minutes.
This is not related to any computer issues.Many have had the same problem with this specific model only after a few months. It should be recalled.
Simply a BAD BUY.
What's great about it: nothing
What's not so great: The monitor shuts down by itself.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased 11 of these monitors for my business and 5 of them have died within three months. The screen goes black with the power light staying green. If you cycle power to the monitor it comes back for a minute or two and then back to black. It is not an OS issue as it occurs on multiple OS and even when the monitor is not connected to input. Have had to return them every time.
You have been warned.

I bought to replace a Dell 1707FP 17" flat panel that the power button failed on after 3 years....it is a great monitor, with great image quality. I have no cons about the actual image, my cons are with the unit design. There are no USB connections as with the previous unit (easily remedied), I am unable to use the speakers that the old monitor came with (they connect to the monitor, but there is no power outlet as the previous monitor had (no backwards compatibility)), and the stand is not height adjustable as the previous stand was (again easily remedied with swapping the stands)
Just think Dell could have incorporated previous options into this monitor
What's great about it: Great Image Quality - larger view
What's not so great: No USB ports, no backwards compatibility with Dell speakers, no height adjustable stand
I would recommend this to a friend!

This monitor is used by many teachers at my school, and I've had the privilege to use it. Yes something of this quality is a privilege to use. It's very thin and light, has terrific picture quality, and on top of it all, it has the Dell logo. What more can you want from a computer monitor? I would very highly recommend it to everyone!

I use this monitor everyday at my job and am thinking of upgrading for my personal use as well. I was really impressed by the picture it is nice and easy to adjust as well. I think its one of the best buys out there alll things considered. It doesn't have quite as many adjustment features as some monitors I have seen but to someone who only plays with the contrast every now and then, like myself, that is really not a big deal.
What's great about it: Love the picture
What's not so great: Pixelates a bit but no more than other highend monitors
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had an older, "no-name" brand monitor, attached to my desktop. that suddenly died in January of 2008. Thankfully, I have a laptop "back-up" system. Being 100% disabled, handicapped, etc., and keeping medical info, tax records, and other such important files on my desktop, I could not spare the time to search around for long. I checked the Best Buy online site, and was pleasantly surprised to find Dell listed. I printed out the info/listing from the BB web site, and managed to trundle off to my local BB store. I was somewhat distressed that it was not on display. My "rescue" came in the form of a BB employee, asking if I needed any help. I got the printed output, from my pocket, handed it to him, and was politely told "please wait here for a minute or two." He then checked the store computer system, wheeled around a HUGE rolling ladder, climbed it almost to the ceiling, and came down with a box, which he placed in my cart, appoligizing for the wait & delay. I went through the front line check-out, bought it, though not then on sale, and drove home. Unpacking, set-up, hook-up, and installation was a "no-brainer" breeze. I first "fired it up" on January 24, 2008, and it has been in daily use ever since. Even though I wear prescribed tri-focal glasses, I find no problem with reading fine print, nor with viewing angle. I have edited and/or enhanced several thousand photos, and the color clarity and detail is as good (or better) than any monitor I have ever used/owned/had/worked on. In 9 months of daily, constant use, this monitor performs flawlessly. THANK YOU for reading my review. Now, STOP READING & RESEARCHING, and go BUY YOURS. You will NOT regret the expendature, or the QUALITY of this monitor. If this monitor does not satisfy your needs, for almost every normal type of computer use/chore, maybe a trip to the eye doctor is more imperative that a new monitor purchase. BUY IT, ENJOY IT, VIEW IT, and it will ADD much to your computer experience and time. I did, I do, and it does!
What's great about it: size, weight, viewing angle, color, clarity, consistancy
What's not so great: I haven't found any

Hey folks,
Me again writing more for our friends @ BB. This monitor was an impulse buy due to a new graphics card I got for my computer. The old monitor I had was only 17" and it was not doing it for me anymore. I had some extra points saved up so I went and got this bad boy. If you are looking for an easy setup, no frills monitor then look no further. Screen quality is outstanding! It is plug and play, I even left the original cables from my old monitor attached - that is how easy it is.
Those that are no tech-savy will enjoy this easy setup.
A+
What's great about it: Inexpensive, no frills monitor.
What's not so great: No aux inputs?
I would recommend this to a friend!

When I first got the monitor it had a bad case of what I think is called "ghosting:" I would be typing something and then all of a sudden I could not see the curser and a portion of the window I was working in would appear a second time at the top of the screen. If I minimized and then maximized the window, it would go back to normal - for a few minutes until it happened again. I solved the problem by unchecking the "enable transparency" option (See http://www.direct-laptops-guide.com/turn-off-windows-vista-aero.html for instructions).
What's great about it: Great image, colors, etc.
What's not so great: Had to to turn off Vista Aero transparency feature

After not having my 19" Acer very long, I was just waiting for the 22" to drop in price and they have. And this is a Dell to go with my Dell computer. Best Buy sell Dell? I was amazed!
I'm also amazed at this widscreen monitor. I love it. I don't watch movies on my computer so for lots of surfing online this screen is just perfect. I just wish I could have afforded this years ago. You can't go wrong with a Dell! And I don't need my reading glasses for the small print anymore. It's great.
I can't find any cons with this yet either. So I would definitely recommend this to everyone with no reservations.

Text is erratic on resolutions lower than recommended one.
Viewing angle is very small before things start to look shifty.
On a VGA connection, your resolution will not be the recommended one and text will appear poorly.

TN Monitor - colors arent the greatest.
Need to look at it DEAD ON, or colors shift.
Narrow viewing angle from all directions.
Colors screwed up in factory setting. turn down colors to ~70 (RGB)
No UP-DOWN or Tilt feature - cant expect it from an entry level monitor I guess

The viewing angle is a bit too narrow even for entry level which is why it doesnt get a 5 star rating.

I got this monitor in combination with my Inspiron purchase and it blew me away! I don't know if it's saying much since this is my first upgrade away from a CRT monitor that's in my house. I love anything widescreen and the color and picture on this display was crisp. I have a TV input so I get some chanels and I watch ALOT of movies on this screen too. People have been having issues with the resolution and how web-pages display but I've never had a problem of the sort. Most likely their issu is just that they zoomed in before and it was left like that for the next web visit. Font is large and in your face on this monitor and I love it. The fine print is no longer fine but about 12 size font speaking Microsoft word jargon. It's clear and bright and supports high performance graphics. This display is excellent and would reccomend it to anyone who loves letterbox displays. For people transitioning from a full screen 4:6 ratio display, this may feel awkward at first but you get used to it pretty fast. The product is fantastic and I would recomend it over and over again.
What's great about it: Large - Clear Picture - Good Looking
What's not so great: none

When you're looking at an LCD monitor look at a couple of things. Look at the response time. The lower the better if you're going to do any video. The second, that people seem to have forgotten as we get into LCDs, is pixel size. Keep the pixel size small, just like you did with an old fashioned CRT.
This version from Dell is a good, cheaper level. The next higher is a little better. It has a higher contrast ratio. Going up to the thousand dollar model, though, seems a little obscene, unless you just have money to burn.
This one is clear, flicker free, and will produce a strong wide screen image. It will also allow you to have more documents open to switch between.
Remember that you need a good video card to go along with your monitor. If you don't at least have DVI out, upgrading the monitor alone isn't enough. DVI or HDMI is what you're looking for. This will give you the best picture.
What's great about it: If you work on your computer you need this type of monitor
What's not so great: Other options are better, but at a higher price
I would recommend this to a friend!

I picked out the Dell 22" monitor after comparing several brands and models. I liked that this monitor had a 1680 x 1050 resolution along with a fast response time and DVI (Digital Visual Interface). Additionally, the monitor comes with a three year warranty and Dell monitors have a pretty good reputation.
When I unpacked the monitor I was happy to see that it came with both VGA (for older non-digital systems) and DVI cables. The stand easily snaps into place and angles up and down a little. Note that the stand is not height adjustable and does not rotate (the stand could probably be replaced with one that does).
Using the DVI cables the picture is very good with no lag. Video games and pictures look great on it. The only drawback is that some of the text in dialog boxes and menus seems a little off. This could probably be fixed by playing around with setting in Windows. Its not a big deal but if things like this bother you, keep this in mind.
Other than that I have had the monitor for a while now and it has been great!
