Dell P2212H Black 21.5" 5ms Swivel, Height & Pivot Adjustable Widescreen LED-Backlit LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 DC 2,000,000:1 (1000:1)

Pros: Decent stand/base...strong and easily adjustable.

Built in USB hub.

That's about it as far as pros go.

1 star earned.

Cons: Horrible picture quality. Much worse than some of the cheaper monitors I've used.

Very muted colors...none of them pop or look good.

Contrast ratio/black levels are non-existent...definitely not for movie watching or playing games. Black appears to be a more dark, light bleeding purple than anything.

Viewing angles? What viewing angles? Seriously though, anything other than viewing it head on dead center produces a bad picture.

However, it DOES work and could possibly be decent for maybe office work? It is not recommended though that you subject your employees, friends, or family to this monitor.

Monitor works as in it produces an image. 1 star.

Other Thoughts: Over all I'm only giving it two stars. One because the stand is nice and the USB hub is a nice addition. Second star is because the monitor actually works.

Three stars deducted from 5 star rating due to picture quality.

Pros: "Cheap"

These use to be the "Professional" series that we bought for the office...they had nice stands, were adjustable and were just a really nice solid monitor.

Cons: I have bought 20+ of these over the last month and I have had to RMA two of them so far because of large areas on the screens that are bad...right of of the boxes no damage to the screen or packing(cardboard now for some reason). I have others that have small multicolored lines in them that can be seen at angles. The stands and casing for these "Professional" monitors look like cheap plastic...nothing like they use too...

Other Thoughts: I will not be buying any more of these.

Pros: Nice color for led tn panel.
Nice stand so you can pivot to portrait mode.
Price was right.

Cons: Horrible viewing angle. I bought 3 of these for portrait mode eyefinity and it fails epically. The left or right monitor dims a lot and I'm always shifting my head to find a good view. I had side monitors at an angle, but my display looks weird when not in a game or when leaning back to watch a video. Minus two stars.

Other Thoughts: Would have been nice to have HDMI or better yet display port (for eyefinity), but I knew this going in and for the price I can't complain.

Games do look great and have a nice feel.

non-eyefinity would probably be great, or non-portrait.

I decided I don't like eyefinity and I'll seels these three monitors and buy a single IPS 27"-30" monitor 1440P or greater.

also, 1080P doesn't work well for portrait. 1080 pixels wide is too narrow. 1440 should do the trick.

Pros: 0

Cons: I purchased 6 monitors and one was defective. Of course, I didn't save the right box, and NewEgg wouldn't take it back. NewEgg's invoice doesn't include all the #'s Dell needs to return the defective monitor. Can of course, you can't call and talk to anyone but a machine. I'm feeling really frustrated! Moral to the story...buy from Dell or SAVE ALL YOUR BOXES!!
