EPIC Deal: Dell 2209WA eIPS 22" LCD Monitor - $250 Shipped & Taxes Included

I would appreciate if you were to share the settings as I have not calibrated a monitor in a long time. This panel is very nice but I haven't got that "WOW" factor yet (haven't used it much to be fair). I was also using my sony 40" 1080p prior to this which has a gorgeous picture.

Thanks
 
Yeah any other settings you guys find I'll save and try to see which one suits my room the best. I love this monitor, my dad saw it asked if he was getting that one since it strains his eyes less than my old 2253BW(Lol I knew I shoulda got 2)
 
Bah! I have a small cluster of black pixels near the bottom right corner of the screen. Ah well, I will just swap this one out with one at work and let the company deal with it if they choose to. I'd be ok with it being a workhorse at work, but not a pride and joy at home. Well back in the box she goes.

I did mess around with it some though. This screen also seemed to be more troublesome to calibrate than the others I have done today. Maybe it's a Friday panel? Anyways I'll be back tomorrow night with updates on how it goes with another one and maybe some more insight on settings and such.

I figured out that colour profiles are as easy as anything else to copy and distribute so I'll be happy to share. I'd like to try another screen though before I feel good about one though. Still if you'd like the one I made tonight PM me with your email and I'll pass it on to you.

One thing I really like about this one compared to my 2007WFP is the menus. Praise be to the Emperor, for that!
 
Dell WILL send you a replacement and will actually ship it to you before you send back the faulty one.

bummer.... At least you can pull the swap from work :biggrin: or do what SKYMTL said. Thanks for your help with the settings.. I will just wait till you get up and running at home.

cheers
 
Brightness: ~10 (suit to taste after)
Contrast: 79 (check LCDtest to custom to your panel)

Colors RGB Custom: R 98 G 97 B 99 (again, every 2209WA panel will be a bit different)
Sharpness: 40

I also had to lower my Gamma to 45% (nV Control Panel) to get close to the 2.2 level.

Thats mine. Looks good now :)
 
I tried out your settings and went through my digital pics.. much better:thumb: I have that WOW feeling now! However I was able to find 4 separate spots with stuck red pixels... The one is almost right in the middle and appears to be 2 or 3 together:sad:

Anyone else find any stuck pixels?

One of my panels has a nasty cluster of them. Another has one stuck pixel.
