Ok, I know this has been discussed to death, but it's been a while since (couple of months), and I'm wondering if there are any new "real world" users of this monitor. TN/VA debate, color washing out, etc. are all things I've read about this. But I've also read some really positive reviews. Any new users in the past couple of months? Any truth to the panel type? Some say TN, some say VA or S-IPS?
I like the height adjustment, the rotating ability. I do web work, no real intense color correction work. Suitable? Help me buy a monitor!

or any other recommendations? How about the 20" Dell Ultrasharp? Or other brands, too. Acer, Samsung, HP, there are too many monitors out there!

I used to work with this monitor at my last job, it was ok nothing special... I would recommend this monitor:
http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-moni…It's what I use at work at the mo and its perfect! Even got an HDMI output as well so all good. (I do web work as well it it's perfect for that)

So is there some inconsistency in the production of the displays? I've been hearing so many 50/50 reviews, some love it, some hate it. Some say washed out colors, some say it's gorgeous. Some say that that because the 22" and 20" have same native resolution that the 22" looks a little funny. Any truth to this?

Thanks, PSYKHO. I'll look into it!

I've got a 20" Dell 2005FPW (S-IPS) and I'm quite happy with it for what it cost years ago, was defenitely wiser choice than for eg Cinema Display...

I do like the Apple Cinema Display but I just think its way too pricey, but still so nice...

isn't apple releasing a cheaper, 3.5" cinema display?

TN panel means no for me. I recently chased an used 2007WFP on ebay because they switched to TN with the 2008WFP.

So does anyone know 100% that the US 2208WFP is indeed a TN? I've read varying reports.
