Which 22" Dell?

[boomhower]

Well I am looking for a new monitor. Which 22" Dell would you suggest? It is just going to be for general use. I am not intense gamer but do play from time to time. I do watch TV series that have been encoded from DVD so nice playback in that arena would be needed. If it makes a difference my 8800GT will be feeding it.

Thanks for the help

I am leaning towards the SP2208WFP. Thoughts?

Supposedly the SP2208WFP is the one to get from Dell. I've got a boxed one sitting in my room right now. I forget the performance stats but I think its a good deal with the integrated camera. I'll probably have my rig built by friday and can give firsthand impressions then if you still want to know.

I ended up ordering it earlier this evening with my wifes laptop. I really want the ultrasharp just for the base and the black cabinet but the integrated web cam and cheaper price of the SP outweighed that. From everything I could find they use the exact same panel. I ended up getting it for $304, pretty good deal for everything it has.

well they are all TN panels anyway, so probably wont be too much of a difference in image quality

I got yesterday, free overnight shipping is nice. I am very impressed with it. The screen is perfect with no damaged pixels, the image is very sharp, and all of the other features really just top it off. The only thing I would change is the cabinet from silver to black but oh well. I couldn't be more satisfied with it.

On a side note dell did piss me off on the order. They were supposed to wait and ship the monitor with the laptop which they obviously did not. To say the least it completely ruined the surprise of the laptop for my wife as it is not going to be here until the end of the month. Tomorrow I am going to send a useless email that they will laugh at as they watch my money pad there bottom line a little more.
