Re: 1680x1050 resolution on 20" & 22" monitors

I too experienced the inaccurate colors on my 22" Dell monitor. The greys were pinkish in color. It really made things look bad. Took the monitor back thinking it was maybe just a defect. Second monitor did the exact same thing. I put two of my other LCD monitors on and they looked fine. I just took the 22" monitor back. I wish it would have been better, I really liked the bigger screen.

I recently received and have set up my Dell 2208WFP 22" widescreen
monitor. It runs at a resolution of 1680x1050 pixels. The picture quality
is nice, but it doesn't seem to be quite as sharp as my previous monitor,
the Dell 2007WFP, a 20" widescreen monitor that also ran at 1680x1050.

My first inclination was to assume the 2007WFP looked better because it
has a higher quality panel. But then I had an idea. Perhaps the 1680x1050
resolution will always look slightly inferior on a 22" monitor as opposed to
a 20" monitor because everything is stretched an extra two inches. Maybe
1680x1050 resolution will always look better on a 20" monitor.

Could that be the reason for the slight difference in picture quality?

Your experience doesn't match with mine, although I briefly had the
preceding 20" wide screen model for a while not the more up to date
one (I returned the 20" for a 24" -- definitely worth it).

I had the 22" wide screen for a while, and found it to be excellent in
terms of brightness and sharpness -- better than the 20" wide screen.

The main problem I could see with the 22" wide screen (the model you
mention) was that colors were not as accurate as they were on my 24".

The larger size of the 22" over the 20" wide screen though was
definitely a plus, and totally accurate color reproduction wasn't a
priority for me so I really liked the 22" (especially the price).
