The Prolite E2208HDS really does take gameplaying into another dimension with its out of this world HD colour sensitivity and 22 inch widescreen that makes the user feel really immersed from the moment the monitor is fired up. The colour reproduction is stunning and on a par with a top of the range High Definition television with a brightness/excellent contrast ratio combined with lightening fast response time that keep even the fastest games scrolling without any form of picture distortion.
While the performance is exceptional, the key positive points in my opinion do not stop there, with a retail price of just over £150 you are unlikely to find a monitor that comes anywhere close to matching the ease of use, functionality and style of the E2208HDS.
I have tried many monitors in my time, ranging from the garish green Amstrad monitor of the early 1980's to the incredibly expensive BenQ models and from an overall perspective, for the price this cannot be beaten and I would go as far as to say that even if the price was doubled I would without hesitation buy another because it has taken my gameplaying experiences to another level. The detail and clarity of images are breathtaking.
The ProLite E2208HDS Widescreen LCD is the first to feature true High Definition, 16:9, 1920 x 1080 pixels as its native resolution. Impressive colour reproduction is achieved with a typical contrast ratio of 1000:1 with the User Option to enhance further with Advanced Contrast Ratio enabled for 10,000:1. Complimented by a blistering 5msec Response Time, makes the E2208WS ideal for High Definition Video and Gaming applications. 'Opticolour' automatically makes calibrated adjustments to Contrast, Brightness and Colour Balance to suit your application needs. Analogue and Digital inputs guarantees flexible connectivity.
