Cool Dell E198WFP (19" Widescreen LCD) Review
Dell E198WFP Review


Here's the much awaited review of Dell E198WFP monitor which I recently got via Raghu/Cappuccino. Though I had to wait for an astounding amount of time, due to various factors, the final result was very pleasing. The total investment (hate the term, damage) was Rs. 13,350.00 all inclusive and it comes with a sweet 5-year warranty. Currently, its going for around Rs. 10,500.00 ex-shipping, which is a steal. I'm not sure if I've enough of expertise to review a monitor, let alone an LCD-monitor. I'll go ahead anyway hoping that you guys will excuse me for the bloopers and noobish comments. Oh, did I mention - this one's my very first LCD.

Nice and short review man. Calibrate the LCD, play arnd with the color/brightness/contrast( i know i shouldn't be telling this, i suck at calibrating).

You have been looking at TE through a 15" CRT all these years

I don't have a calibrator and I don't intend to get one. I'll try and find the calibrated settings for this monitor from somewhere.

Thanx but I won't be able to post any gameplay screenies due to two reasons. My 6600GT went kaput this morning and I don't have a decent enuf digicam with me.

Yeah...didn't have enough money. Finally I'm able to lay my hands on an LCD.

Thanks to espeez for lending me the spyder which I gotta return to him once I'm back in bangy .

Please keep RGB at max and Brightness at 50/Contrast at 75 with color management disabled in the menu.

@Chaos:
Thanks for the settings. It looks much better now. Isn't the contrast a bit low though?

@sTALKEr:
Thanx. I haven't decided anything yet.

This is great monitor, if I'm not wrong I was the first member on TE to get it from Raghu, but I couldn't post up a review since I had no camera

Great review nonetheless.

Short and sweet.

There are custom resolution launchers available for NFS:MW and Carbon, that allows the games to look 'correct' in widescreen resolutions. Obviously the 2D screens (driver selection and game video) are still stretched out but the rendered images all look fine.

Been using them ever since I got my VX2235WM.

Oblivion supports 1680 and so does DiRT, both out of the box. As a matter of fact they support lower widescreen resolutions in the same 16:10 format so if your graphic card has problems you can run it at a lower resolution without the game stretching.
