NEC MultiSync P221W

Zitat

Make no mistake, this monitor has a lot going for it. If impeccable colour accuracy is your bag, then the P221W's cutting edge S-PVA panel and quality electronics make for a great choice. And yet even in isolation it remains awfully hard to justify at £425. Making matters worse, HP has also recently released a 22-inch monitor based on the latest Samsung S-PVA panel, the LP2275W.

In many regards, it's a dead ringer for the P221W save for the absence of a programmable look-up table. But it sells for under £300. We have a review of the HP coming soon, so at the very least we'd recommend you peruse that before plumping for the NEC. However, one potentially deal-breaking niggle both the NEC and HP share is pixel density.

In recent months, we've become accustomed to the generous virtual elbow room and visual sharpness that comes with the full-HD 1,920 x 1,080 resolution. It's now a standard feature on many 22-inch TN monitors available for under £150. It would be pretty galling to pay over £400 for significantly fewer PVA-powered pixels. In that context and in order to justify its almost punitive pricing, what this monitor really needs is a 1,920 x 1,200 native resolution and a 16:10 aspect. Sadly, therefore, the quest for the perfect 22 incher continues.
