The 22-inch design concept has already shown off at trade shows and what not, but no release date was ever set for it. Not any longer with it being ready to ship in the next couple of days.
The 22-inch Dell Crystal LCD display features a resolution of 1680×1050 (WSXGA+), four speakers (apparently a first for Dell), 2ms response time, webcam, 98 percent colour gamut, 2000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, DVI and HDCP-compliant HDMI connectivity (in one cable). It looks sexy and it can do everything you will ever need, always nice to know.
Where is the catch? It’s the $US1199 price tag. What did you expect for a floating 4mm thick tempered glass screen overlay and polished metal stand? I think I will stick to my $US300 Viewsonic for a little bit longer.

ViewSonic have announced 4 new LCD monitors to add to there already extensive range of screens. With the prices of each of them aimed below the $US300 mark they offer quite a bit of value (which you usually see with ViewSonic screens anyway). The 4 screens consist of two 19-inchers (VA1926w and VA926), a 20-inch (VA2026w) and a larger 22-inch (VA2226w) screen.
The screens all feature 2000:1 contrast ratio, Dynamic Contrast, 300 nits of brightness and ClearMotiv(R) 5 ms response time. Unfortunately no HDMI this time, but you can expect a DVI and VGA connector. Resolutions are VA926 is 1280×1024 (4:3 ratio), VA1926w is 1440×900, VA2026w is 1680×1050 and finally the VA2226w is 1680×1050.
Some of these screen should be able to be bought now. The ones that aren’t, you can expect very soon.
