Bring the 22-inch SP2208WFP to the USA

280 points posted to Monitors and Displays by coachcg 11/05/07



Please bring this beauty stateside and make available with desktop systems ASAP. I personally don't need the webcam, but it has other great specs and has the connectors/inputs a lot of us are asking for:

It's not out in the US yet, but Dell just announced another webcam packing LCD monitor: the SP2208WFP for Japan. This 1,680 x 1,050 resolution 22-incher features a 2 megapixel webcam and microphone integrated flush with the upper bezel, a 2-ms response, 2,000:1 contrast, and the ability to reproduce 92% of the NTSC color gamut. Inputs? Oh heck yes: analog D-Sub 15, DVI-D (with HDCP), 3x HDMI, and 4x USB. Japan-only for the time being for a tax-inclusive price of ¥59,800 or about $510 whenever it pops Stateside. They've also announced a ¥68,800 ($587) 24-inch E248WFP prepped for a Japan release on October 23rd. This 1,920 × 1,200 model increases the color gamut from the 72% found in their current 24-incher to the same 92% found in the new SP2208WFP.

11/08/07		 Looks like Gateway is coming up with some better offerings than Dell in this area: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2213483,00.asp

Lets hope Dell will match this variety of inputs and video processor at this pricepoint soon.

11/08/07		 I do like the idea of web cam and mike built in.

11/19/07		 Hurray!!! It is here. And even better - at a great price point: $319 in the USA. Even better still - it has HDMI too! Now, hopefully these will be available with system configurations soon.

Funny thing though - An UltraSharp 2208WFP is available too, but it looks to be a step down in many ways. Only 80 degrees viewable? Is that a typo? And what is better - 2000:1 dynamic contrast ratio (on the SP2208WFP) or TrueColor with 92% Color Gamut and 1000:1 contrast ratio (on the UltraSharp 2208WFP). Not that it would make much difference to me - I will take the HDMI input and webcam any day, even (regretfully) without the adjustable stand. Can we get that aftermarket Dell?
