Very poor contrast

Pros: Nice features (USB ports, adjustable base), speaker bar option.

Cons: Very poor contrast, high price compared to other brands, slow delivery.

This monitor has very poor contrast. Light-colored text was extremely difficult to read and images were washed out. I bought a second 1908FP and tried the monitors on 2 computers to confirm my first one was not defective. I have an old 17” flat panel monitor that has a much better image quality than this model. I returned the monitor to DELL and purchased another brand 22” monitor with 3000:1 contrast ratio for less money. The replacement monitor has fewer features but has a much better image quality. This is the first DELL purchase that I’ve ever returned.
