Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • 22-inch IPS panel
  • Excellent colour and viewing angles
  • Great gaming performance
  • Fantastic price
The bad:
  • No 1:1 scaling
  • Inset monitor can cause reflections on bezel, and shadow on monitor
The bottomline:

The 2209WA is a monitor with very few flaws. While we'd love to see 1:1 scaling, and the inset screen may cause some users grief, we wouldn't mind two of these sitting on our desk. This is the best 22-inch monitor we've seen.

Editors’ rating:

9/10

RRP: AU$459.00
