Dell UltraSharp 2208WFP

Question

I have just committed to purchase a 2208WFP online and now I am feeling a little nervous about the panel type, as it is listed as an 'UltraSharp' monitor my expectations are that it is better than the standard E228WFP priced $100 less. Can someone confirm that I am not getting the cheap TN style panel? I no it is not likely to be an IPS panel but would hope it is at least an S-PVA.

I'm afraid it's a TN panel. Viewing angles are a good indication: 160° means TN, 178° means PVA or IPS.   TFT Central Panel Search   Wikipedia - Dell Monitors   What is Ultrasharp?

Thanks for the information, I will now look to on-sell this monitor once it arrives as DELL have effectively tricked me with what amounts to false advertising. 'UltraSharp’ suggested an improved picture and has nothing to do with being able to tilt and swivel and plug USB equipment into it, which is just added convenience. I will now buy an HP monitor and warn others NOT to buy DELL
