A brief description of the characteristics of the monitor and e-IPS matrix.
Dell 2209WA is one of the best 22 "TFT monitors with an excellent price / quality ratio.
Dell 2209WA is a 22 "widescreen monitor, 473.76mm X 296.1mm screen area, 1680x1050 pixel resolution, e-IPS matrix, 6ms gray to gray response time. 0.282mm pixel size, vertical viewing angles / horizontal 178/178 degrees The monitor is covered by a 3-year warranty.
The IPS matrix is the best option among the possible matrixes for TFT monitors. Compared to widespread monitors on TN-Film matrix, IPS matrix allows to achieve wide viewing angles, deep blacks, as well as high contrast and good color reproduction, e-IPS is the fourth generation of IPS matrices from LG, it has a fast response time).

Detailed description of the monitor
The monitor case can be black or silver. The body is made of rough plastic and looks great, besides, fingerprints do not sit well on the body, which is very pleasant in our time of the dominance of glossy technology. The lines of the monitor are strict, straight.
The monitor stand allows you to adjust the height, tilt of the monitor, and to rotate the monitor horizontally. The monitor can be rotated to portrait mode. The stand weighs 1.79 kg, this weight allows the monitor to stand securely and stably on the surface. The mechanisms for moving the monitor along the grooves are equipped with powerful springs, resulting in an extremely soft and smooth sliding. To summarize, the leg is solid, gives the impression of a thing that will last a long time.
The monitor is equipped with a USB hub (a very convenient feature in my opinion), two connectors are located under the monitor (it is convenient to connect a webcam and various radio interfaces to them, for example, a bluetooth adapter or a radio transmitter for a keyboard or mouse), two more connectors are on the left, on the side the surface of the monitor case (which is convenient for connecting external drives, etc.). The USB hub connects to a computer using the supplied cable. One cable connects to the bottom of the monitor.
Assembling and installing the monitor .
Assembling the monitor is very simple, just in case, detailed instructions with pictures are attached to the monitor.
After unpacking the leg and placing it on the table, it is enough to attach the monitor to the leg platform to connect the monitor, and the monitor connection platform is turned to a convenient position.
On the back of the leg there is a rectangular cable organizer, in the form of a cutout on the leg, in my opinion, it is made simply, conveniently and beautifully.
After assembling and connecting the monitor to the computer, it makes sense to install the color profiles for the monitor from the supplied disc.
Monitor control
There are 5 buttons to control the monitor on the right:
| 1 | Brightness and contrast |
| 2 | Automatic tuning |
| 3 | Selecting a signal source |
| 4 | Menu |
| 5 | Power on button |
The source select button allows you to switch from VGA to DVI input. I really like this feature, because you can connect the main computer to the DVI input, and the laptop or system unit that you are configuring to the VGA input and switch between the image from the first and second computers by pressing a button.
The menu is simple and straightforward, in the manual for the monitor there is a detailed description of it.When you work with a menu, buttons are displayed with visual clues that describe the role that the button is currently playing.
Pressing the buttons is soft, comfortable. The buttons do not stagger, do not creak, it is pleasant to use.
Picture.
The image looks great, bright and saturated colors, no flare, high contrast. The response time is really good, there is no blurring in dynamic scenes in movies. Excellent viewing angles, and the absence of any kind of darkening / enlightenment when viewed from an angle as on monitors with TN-Film matrices.
The screen (which is very nice) is matte, glare is minimal.
Conclusion.
All in all, we have a comfortable, high-quality, elegant, reliable and well-made monitor with an excellent image for a low price (compared to other monitors with IPS matrices). This monitor is a great choice. Wish you happy shopping.
