For web design, wide-screen monitor is not suitable la, but for graphic design wide-screen is really cool

Go for 2007WFP for the brilliant colors

E228WFP is TN panel, viewing angle is 160°. So when you view the monitor from side, top or bottom, the screen will look a lot darker.

View your screen on a solid white color background. If you see small black dot pixel, it is DEAD pixel. Stuck pixel (Red, Green or Blue color pixel) may gone after a while or they will stay there forever.

My E228WFP also got some dead pixels problem, but not as much as 7 dead pixels. I was lucky enough to get my LCD replacement for dead-pixels claim.

Oh, then i must be really lucky to get my replacement LCD. Actually i call Dell, then they pass the line to the technician department, then the technician ask me to post the screen-shot of my screen(i use digital camera) and send through email. Two days later, the technician reply my email and i get my replacement LCD from Singapore.

yup...me too using cleaner liquid. Very easy & safe to clean LCD screen. Just spray on the screen and gently wipe off with a soft cloth. The liquid just cost about RM10, very cheap

My E228WFP got 2 to 4 dead/stuck pixels within the few days of arrival, so i called up DELL. They did ask me to take photo of the dead pixel on my screen by using digital camera and send e-mail to the technician. And, i got my E228WFP replacement.

of course more expensive than TN panel because of its better quality and better viewing angle.

Dell website also offer RM 849 for E228WFP. You can buy without credit card ma, there's so many payment option. Buy from Dell, you can get extended warranty and you will have a 14-days risk-free policy.

yup, it's a bit of troublesome and take longer time to purchase from Dell.


22" widescreen is alot bigger than 20" widescreen. Your onboard graphic probably can support normal use only not for gaming. So, is better for you to get 20" or 19" widescreen without the need of new graphic card.

yup both 20" & 22" widescreen is same 1680 x 1050 resolution, but 22" has the bigger screen and have a fairly large pixel size, 0.282mm and 20" widescreen at the same resolution offers a pixel size of 0.258 mm.

For me, I'm satisfied with the HD movie playback on my E228WFP. mengfui, your VIA onboard graphic card cannot tahan the latest new games. Even my 5900XT have to set at lower quality/resolution in order to play new games.

Its really cool to have 2 LCD side by side. Especially for multi-task use.

Yup, you are right. 7 dead pixels policy.

That some people is me

For me, it's just annoying to see the dead pixel on my new screen, so I complain to Dell loh. I can say that their after-sales service are excellence and helpful. First, I though of rugi RM80 to send it back to Dell but then they agreed to get the replacement for me.


It's ok to have 2 different resolution monitors side by side, I feel comfortable with it. But never pair CRT & LCD together, it's just so sakit mata. Believe me, you would never want to look at the CRT screen when you got LCD on the other side.

Actually, it takes quite a few phone call. 1st call, i let the sales person know about the dead pixel. 2nd call, the sales manager (i guess) call me again to analyze the situation. 3rd call, they get the technician to verify the matter. Strangely, the technician ask me to get the snapshot of the dead pixel. So i take photo using camera loh, so hard to get the picture clear. Then send email to them. 2 days later only, i got the call from logistic department for confirming the date of getting the replacement of my new LCD (from Singapore). Took almost 1 week to get my new replacement. And they didn't even take back the another faulty LCD. So i got 2 LCDs, testing & playing around for 3 days before i call them and they take back the other one.

Nope, i think i got about 2-3 only

LOL

Actually, i was puzzled because the courier guy refused to take it back on the same day they deliver the new replacement LCD to my house. Even Dell didn't bother to call up to take back the faulty LCD. So I played around with 2 LCDs for few days before call them to take it back.

yup its the courier fee they charge for taking it back.

HDMI is delicious. I hope to get a HDMI LCD to pair with my current E228WFP soon. Let the HDMI LCD war begin !!!

The courier guy will include a notice together with your LCD replacement. The notice will mention about what to do with your faulty product.

1. Pack the defective part using the same packing material supplied for the replacement part.
2. Seal the packaging materials with the same defective parts to be returned.
3. Contact Dell Logistics Provider at +603-5191 3325 and arrange for the collection of the consignment.
4. Upon arrival of the Dell Logistics Provider at your office/home for collection, please write your name on the Collection Note. Please also sign and add your company stamp on the Collection Note.

If the detective part not returned to Dell within 10 business days, an invoice will be issued accordingly for the value of the part, with payment required within 30 days from the Invoice date. In the event of the Invoice, the replacement part will be priced at Dell's current price.

Aiyo, i thought of keeping the extra DVI & VGA cables when they send me the replacement LCD. I scared they will charge me for stealing the extra cables, so i returned it back.
