Dell 2209WA - Revisions?

kingspice · 1 Jan 2010 at 02:00

Hi,
I'm looking to buy 2 x 2209WA monitors after everyone reviewing them well on here.

Is "REV A01" the latest revision of this monitor as I saw some threads mentioning a second revision.

Also if there is, are there any major differences between the diff revisions.

Any input greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The one I ordered from OCUK (and arrived yesterday), is an A01 if that's any help

It's looking like a great monitor so far BTW

I ran a A01 next to my very first revision. Both exactly the same in every way. Yes a01 is the second rev

i heard that the revisions don't mean that one has had improvement just that it was built in another country/factory at a more recent time, apparently.

i want the 2209wa...

You won't regret it m8. Let's put it this way, I intended to replace with a 24" TN panel Dell and it wasn't a patch on the WA so I ended up keeping :cool:

How is this for input lag? From what I can tell Dell have horrible QC but great customer service? With all the issues with the 120Hz 22" I'm still undecided....

The input lag on the 2209 is very minimal, I'd be surprised if you could notice it at all tbh.

It's a really great monitor, I haven't got anything negative to say about it at all. The build quality is fantastic, the stand is really sturdy which came as a surprise as I've seen a lot monitors that get compared with it with quite flimsy stands.

Got mine calibrated with a Spyder2. Well pleased. OCUK delivery was spot on as usual again.

Thanks to this thread and a few others, I've decided to get this monitor

. Should be awesome going by most of the reviews.

think im about to purchase mine too...
petty it was £40 or thereabouts less when I bought my samsung 2443BW which was broken, then I got a replacement which was also broken, then i got a refund... when i was so close to buying the 2209WA instead :S

Enjoy....even with the price hike its still an awesome deal. Got mine when they were £190 but after using it would be happy to pay around the £300 mark

+1 for the Dell - wish I had a pair as it is much better than the other monitor on my desktop. Am watching the prices!

I was going to wait for it to drop but I just snapped one up yesterday when the stock went below 10+. Sure they might get more in, and sure they might go down in price. But what it £40 when you are making sure you have the perfect monito? Shame the samsung I wanted was broken twice in a row when the 2209WA was £210

Some of the computer industries are quite wobbly atm, who knows what products could be at the end of their lifecycle at any time.
