Dell Professional P2213 22 inch Widescreen LED Monitor - Black (1680x1050, VGA, DVI-D, DisplayPort, 5ms, 1000:1, 60Hz, USB 2.0)

Product Information

Dot pitch (also known as line pitch or pixel pitch) is a specification for a computer display that describes the distance between dots (sub-pixels) of the same colour on the inside of a display screen. In a multiple display setup, one display or monitor must be set as the primary display. The primary display shows the taskbar and other main desktop components such as time, system tray icons, and more. To set the primary and secondary displays, follow these steps: Certain TVs may require you to adjust the screen aspect ratio for best possible scaling and resolution. IPS (In-Plane Switching) is a technology intended to overcome the image quality problems inherent in TN + Film displays. They have much wider viewing angles and reproduce colour far more faithfully. They are less responsive than TN + Film displays, and are also considerably more expensive. This makes them well suited to professional image editing applications, but a poor choice for multimedia or gaming, as the slow response times make ghosting an issue. MVA

The P2213 features an eco-conscious design with arsenic-free glass and a mercury-free panel. The BFR/PVC-free monitor (excluding cables) uses more than 25% post-consumer recycled materials in its chassis. DisplayPort is the most versatile connection type allowing both video and audio data transmission. It also allows for Multi-Stream Technology (MST) connections of 2 or more MST capable displays through one DisplayPort connection.

Display size is measured in inches, corner to corner across the diagonal, so a 17 inch monitor is 17 inches from its bottom left to its top right corner. This means that while bot ha standard and a widescreen 17 inch monitor may both have the same diagonal size, the two monitors will have different dimensions. The standard screen monitor will be taller, while the widescreen display will be wider. Dot Pitch LCDs are digital devices, meaning that they are intended to work with digital signals. VGA is an analogue standard designed to work with the previous generation of CRT monitors. For a LCD monitor to support VGA it must convert the analogue VGA signal to digital, which is certain to result in some loss of image quality, which manifests itself as some apparent blurriness in the image. Analogue connectors are provided mainly for compatibility with legacy hardware, and are becoming less common. Digital connection

Now my new GPU did not have vga but that monitor did have a display port output but no HDMI (my other monitor has HDMI but no Display port) so I got a DP cable to plug it in that way. The standard proportion in width to height for a computer monitor is 4:3, but many new displays have a wider format: 16:9 or 16:10, designed for viewing movies or HDTV in wide format. Note that a 17-inch wide-format panel has about the same vertical dimension and vertical pixel count as a normal 15-inch panel, so you get about 120 percent of the viewing area of a 15-inch panel. A 17-inch standard panel, however, has 130 percent of the viewing area of a standard 15-inch screen. Bits Per Colour The Dell P2213 computer monitor excels in many areas but if you’re looking for a solution for gaming, graphic design or even video/photo editing using programs such as Adobe Photoshop, the P2213 doesn’t have a calibrated colour gamut meaning colour reproduction might not be accurate to what you see on screen.TN (Twisted Nematic) plus film is the most common technology used in TFT panels today. This is because it provides a good compromise between low cost and good response times. They do tend, however, to suffer from limited viewing angles. As you move away from the centre line of the monitor and start looking at it more side on, the colours become increasingly distorted. Colour reproduction in general tends not to be as good as other systems such as IPS IPS
