Great Widescreen monitor
 
Review Date: March 5, 2008
Reviewer: MtnBiker,
I picked up this monitor to replace a 17"CRT Dell monitor. Actually my wife got it for my Anniversary present. Beautiful on movies, google earth, internet and my topographical programs for hiking. I ordered an Radeon 9550 video card right after I got this monitor and once installed it automatically adjusted the screen to 1440x900. I also love that it comes with a DVI cable in the box. These things run from $30 on up. Very happy with the monitor and I'm sure with the 3 year warranty I will have it a long time.

First off all, don't blame your monitor if your video card doesn't support the fantastic 1440x900.

This monitor is crisp, doesn't have the ghost effects of many lcd displays, the screen refresh is fast enough that I can play games without shooting at a ghose instead of another player, and its just a generally great monitor. I replaced a 17" CRT, and the CRT sits on the floor (anyone need a good CRT monitor cheap?)

Need a small, multipurpose screen for gaming/PS3? Look no further.

For the price and size, this makes an excellent gaming monitor (though not THE best). PS3 looks excellent over DVI (I use an HDMI cable with HDMI adapter for DVI).

Though this monitor is a TN Panel, it is still fairly bright and displays colors very well. Just be sure to adjust your settings, factory settings lack at displaying a good picture.

I use the VGA port for my PC, and while it looks good, DVI looks slightly better (but again, DVI is for ps3).

With PS3, 1080P downscaled on this monitor looks perfect and is better than 720P upscaled. With the 1440x900 resolution of this monitor, stretched out 720p looks very blocky, but 1080P downscaled looks very detailed and sharp. Granted, its not full HD, but its definitely good enough :]

Also with PS3, contrast and color on this monitor is inferior to my Sony KDL26M4000, but I prefer the superior response time of the Dell (5ms vs. 8ms makes a BIG difference for me). The Dell also has a tilt function and is more portable.

Cons of this monitor:

-No HDMI port (have to use an HDMI/DVI adapter)

-No Component/S-Video/Composite ports (but they are really not needed)

-No built-in speakers (I use external ones)

-No usb (I would'nt use it anyway)

-Viewing Angle (Tilt eliminates this problem for me)

For the price (well under 200 bucks), this is a great, cheap alternative
to buying an expensive hdtv if you do a lot of gaming.

Great Monitor!
Excellent Monitor!

This is the second monitor I've purchased from Dell through Amazon and I'm extremely happy with both purchases. This is an excellent monitor for any application ... and at a great price.
Work with PS3!!

Reviewer: Leonardo Rodriguez,
I was looking for the dell e228wfp is the same model but bigger and sold out, so I take this one and yeah is HDCP no doubt! I hooked up my ps3 with hdmi to dvi cable without problem, from sdtv to this...the games looks great now. If you can't do effort for a hdtv this one can help you a lot!
