I know a while back a few of you bought the Dell 22" 2209wa monitor, I'm looking at getting one, so I was wondering what life has been like with the 2209 and was it really a good purchase, I ve read some reviews that indicate it's good, but thought actual users with one hooked up to a mac would be the best feedback i could get ;)

thanks for taking time guys :)
 
there's a huge thread about this monitor on hardforum, and everyone seems to love it. IPS display and cheap. There's no reason not to use it with a mac.

Yeah, hard to beat the same display for a much, much lower price than the apples. ;)
 
There's a thread here:
Thoughts on the Dell E-IPS 2209WA? Anyone own one?

If that's any good...

yeah, i know about that thread bartelby, But this ones aimed at the handfull of Mac users that actually bought the 2209wa it a while back, i know a few iMac and Mac Pro users grabbed one or two, just wanted to see what their views are now, after living with the display(s) a while, are they still happy with it(them), was it worth the investment ect ect,
 
very happy with mine, hooked up to a 2008 MBP through direct DVI connection. I think it is great value monitor! I would not say it is better than my 23 ACD but close and considering the price difference hard to beat. Plus it has more adjustment options....definitely get one if your on the fence!
