Compare that to the Dell ST2210, a monitor that features the same resolution, but a smaller panel size at 21.5″. The “starting price” is already below two-hundred dollars at $199, but $40 is “slashed off” immediately, leaving a total of $159.

Of course, extra charges may apply thanks to the aforementioned delivery- and IRS-related charges, but unless you purchase a mouse-keyboard bundle with either monitor, it’s unlikely the total bill will go over $200, easily making both the ST2210 and ST2310 the most affordable 1920 x 1080 displays I’ve seen.

It also helps that, despite Dell’s issues with customer support and computer reliability, its displays usually score well among reviewers, with complaints mostly about the price. That may be true for displays that for some reason, are priced quite high by Dell, which clearly doesn’t apply here. Below are specs and buy links at Dell.com for your convenience.

As you can see, both displays are practically the same, with differences only in panel size, pixel density, and of course price.

A 22-inch LCD display that features 2 USB ports and support for HDMI, DVI, and VGA. Read on to see what’s hot, and what’s not.

What’s Hot

• 22 inches of visual goodness!
• 1680 x 1050 resolution, perfect for working with lots of Windows
• Height, swivel, and orientation (landscape or portrait) adjustment
• Nice contrast level
• Wide viewing angle
• 2 USB ports
• HDMI, DVI, and VGA ports support lots of devices
• Built-in speakers do not sound like tin cans
• Comes with all the cables you need

What’s Not

• Heavy
• Price, while great for 22-inchers, is still not cheap
• Adjusting display’s angle requires two hands and some muscle
• Changing the display’s orientation sort of mucks up the cables; ports should’ve been placed on base
• Built-in speakers lack bass
