Need opinions on a 22" widescreen LCD

Hey guys, I need some opinions.

I'm looking at getting a new LCD, and right now, I can only stomach $300-MAYBE (it would be PUSHING IT) $350.

As we all know LCD's are a difficult market, so I'm asking for opinions.

I only have a couple of qualifications, so here they are:
  • MUST HAVE HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE STAND. I find it ridiculous that companies are moving towards a swivel and/or tilt-only design.
  • NO BUILT IN SPEAKERS. This is kinda a no-brainer, being that I have a set of Logitech Z-5500's, but I thought I'd throw it in there just in case.
  • BUILT-IN USB HUB. Optional, but HIGHLY preferred.
I'd prefer a non-glossy, but I can go either way with that, to be honest.

Need some feedback here guys, and thanks in advance for suggestions.

Pretty much all of them I see are 1680x1050, which is fine.

I know we discussed this the other night - but the details escape me for some reason -

Did you look at the Dell 2208WFP yet?

I have, but I've heard mixed things about the 2208WFP.


And I hate Dell...

That'd be great if it had the height adjustment, which is a key for me.

Reason being: I have the Logitech Z-5500's center channel speaker situated beneath the LCD screen on my existing Dell 1907FP, and that's really the only place I can put it with the space constraints and such that I currently have.

That's not, unfortunately, an option with my desk at the moment. There's nowhere to put it above the monitor, and it would definitely not just sit on top of the monitor itself, it's way too heavy.

OK, so I finally bought a new monitor. I grumbled and moaned and had a few shots of Jack Daniels, then finally decided to pick up the Dell UltraSharp 2209WA. Damn fine monitor it is. It's an e-IPS panel, which, while not the uber awesome spiffy ultra high-end IPS panel, it's way above and beyond ANY TN panel out there.

Best yet, it fits everything I originally wanted, and cost a whopping $212 + Tax. Grand total, the thing cost me $228.11 delivered to my door.

I can post pics or whatever if anyone wants/is interested in them.
