Features
There's not much in the way of extra features, with the big exception being the speakers. As far as speakers attached to a monitor go, they're perfectly fine, but anyone expecting good quality is bound to be disappointed. They sounded pretty thin and trebly to us, and while we could make out dialogue on DVDs, we felt like we had to turn the volume up a lot to hear everything. We were happy to see that the w22 is HDCP compliant, but the lack of a DVI cable was annoying. Sure, you can pick one up for less than $10, but it's included on most 22-inch monitors we've looked at.

Performance
While the w22 isn't packed with bells and whistles, we did like the way it performed. Overall, it scored a 73 on CNET Labs' benchmark test, which puts it ahead of both the Acer AL2216W and ViewSonic VX2235wm. Performance wasn't perfect--we saw some slight ghosting on games--but overall colors were bright and vibrant, with surprisingly nice DVD playback. Times New Roman text was legible at 7.5 font size, and became hard to see at about 6.8. The important thing to note that is that overall the w22 performed just a slight bit better than similarly sized competitors that we've tested.
