Honestly, I don't know how I put up with my old 19" for so long. This monitor is one of the best things I have ever purchased. Sure some people are lucky enough to sport 24" monitors or bigger but I have found the 22" of screen to be more then enough.

1680x1050 resolution, 2500:1 Contrast Ratio and a 5ms Response Time. It sports both VGA and DVI connections, with HDCP. Most people need only one or the other but I use both, DVI for my computer and VGA for my 360. In addition to all of this it rceived the highest score in Consumer Reports 2008 PC issue for monitors 22" and larger.

The P221w is still out there and there is also the P223w which is the white version of the same monitor. Right now it is on sale at Tiger Direct for $229 with free shipping. If you need a new monitor, pick this up.

i buy these in bulk and sell them at the store / have them go with PCs I build. definitely good monitors, nothing special but good. 100% best bang for the buck

I actually bought my P221w as a refurb for $175 and it's been flawless.
