I have the 19" widescreen version of this. I find it a good monitor......for the price. Sure you can get better but it does the job for me. I mainly use it for CAD and general desktop usage.
Therefore, why do you want a 22" over a 20", Is it like a 19" over a 17" screen ?
Personally i like my 20" dell, and its pretty dang big too, going up 2"s for no extra real estate seems pretty pointless ...
Good article, now go out and review the LG L226WTX-BF of the BenQ FP222WH. I'm gonna have to go ahead and ask you to have that up before saturday...yeaaaah.

I have the Dell E228WFP and the horizontal viewing angle is fine but the vertical angle is ridiculous (massive brightness changes with small changes in vertical viewing angle). It's decent for the price plus it has HDCP (which I hope to never need).

Yep. My Dell 19" & 22" are almost perfect matches for height.

Bigger dot pitch is easier on the eyes for text and such plus 22" just feels bigger and slightly more immersive.
I'm getting a 22" monitor, probably ordering it tomorrow. The LG and BenQ I mentioned in my post a couple posts up are my choices. When I saw a monitor on the main page I was hoping beyond hope that it was one of those...oh well.
I think I'm getting the BenQ. The LG boasts a 3000:1 contrast ratio, but that sounds like BS. Besides the BenQ has an HDMI input. The LG only has HDCP through the DVI.

Have a look at some of the american sites, there are a good few mini reviews and forum posts about the LG. If i were you then i'd consider the samsung i've posted, it seems to be slightly better than the LG acording to most people who've seen them both (plus its gloss black, who could resist?)

Hey,
I agree completely with the principle of what you're saying, and yes, 1680x1050 is the same as the 20"s. IMO 1280x1024 looks a lot better on a 17" screen than it does on a 19" - it just feels right, and doesn't look big and blocky.
But, I think that 22" is the correct size for 1680x1050. That same res on 20" looks just a touch too small and is a little hard to read at a distance. 1680x1050 IMO looks 'right' on the 21.1" Samsungs and this particular 22" Benq model. Whilst I could accept 1680x1050 on a 20", I'd not want to be coding on it all day long.
At the time when I was buying new monitors, 1680x1050 was only available on 20" widescreens, so I didn't buy 20" screens for the above reasons despite 20" really being my first choice. (instead i bought two 24"s;) )
fair enuff, ive grown to love my 20" er
I'm sure id like a 22" after a while too, but as i cant afford 1, and there isn't a really reason to upgrade, i think ill stick with my 20" :)

Looking to replace one of my 19" screens with a widescreen, but not sure whether to go for a 22" or a 24" right now.
Not sure if you're interested but I found the Iiyama ProLite E2200WS for £199 inc. VAT at http://www.misco.co.uk/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=268654&sourceid=2222
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
55.88cm.
Ah yeah, that would make it roughly the same height as a 19" monitor.
Always wanted a 24" one, but might start looking for a decent 22" one.
But 24" is biggar!
Argh!
I'm not THAT stupid Bindi :p

Cos it's biggar!
One of us. One of us.
but it does have more pixels, plus it looks miles better (brightness and quality)
