There's a lot to like about Dell's offering in the affordable 22-inch full-HD segment. The S2209W is a subtly stylish monitor with slightly above average image quality compared to most TN screens.

In the end, it's one of those monitors that does better in isolation than in comparison. Viewed by itself, it's a pretty pleasant looking display that might just fool you – at a glance – into thinking it was a mediocre IPS panel. Placed side by side with a good VA or IPS screen, however, its short comings are obvious.

That said, there are two areas where it falls short by any standard. Worst of all is the backlight bleed around the top and bottom edges of the panel. It's the sort of basic image quality faux pas that does much to cheapen the overall feel of the monitor.

bit-tech.net | Review - Dell S2209W 22" Full HD LCD Monitor
 
There's a lot of confusion due to the model numbering, since there's a regular TN version - S2209W, and the eIPS version - 2209WA
 
I guess the last 2 digits of the numbering system, reflects the year of release. Similar to the 2407 WFP, 2408 WFP, 2208 WFP, 2005 FPW, 2007 FP and so forth. :P
 
My God! they have rated the S2209W so highly yet look at the images on Page 3.They haven't even shown you all the tests. They are so crappy and pathetic and yet they think its worth 8/10. Speaks tonnes about the review. pure bs. The E2200HD, S2209W and the Samsung 2233SW are all similar in that department. I wud give it a 6 on features, 7 on image quality and 6.5 on value. An overall 6.5 and no more. The E2200HD has a better feature set and the Samsung 2233SW is still cheaper.
