Hi all,

We have just published a review of *BenQ's X2200W 22" widescreen

monitor* - if you could post a link on your site that would be very much

appreciated.

*/"If ever a monitor was a tale of two halves, the BenQ X2200W is it.

The bad half of the equation is that the image enhancement measures area

a major flop. In truth, we didn't expect a great deal. Traditionally,

these sorts of techniques tend to promise a whole lot more than they

deliver. In this case, they merely serve as a reminder that there's no

substitute for premium panel technology.

However, consider the X2200W as a more conventional 22-inch TN+Film

model and it makes a much better case for itself. It's a competitive

panel with a good range of input options. What it isn't however, is

terribly well priced. The essentially pointless enhancement technology

comes at a cost that pushes this panel into a price range that sees it

competing with the more affordable 24-inch TN alternatives, complete

with much higher 1,920 x 1,200 resolutions.

With a quality PVA or IPS panel that might just be winnable fight. But

as it is, the X2200W is simply too expensive."
