Our new round of tests of 22-inch LCD monitors covers twelve models. Although all of them are based on the same matrix type, TN+Film, I can’t reproach the manufacturers for the lack of variety. These monitors differ widely in terms of specs and functionality, and there has also appeared a new sub-type of them, models with a diagonal of 21.6 inches. Running a little ahead, I should confess I absolutely agree with the manufacturers who are promoting these new reduced-size models together with the true 22-inchers because all the difference between them boils down to these four tenths of an inch you can barely notice in practice.
Again, all the 22” monitors we’ve tested in our labs so far are based on TN matrixes. Notwithstanding the reports about the development and release of 22” models with *VA matrixes, we have not seen such monitors yet and cannot confirm or refute this information at the moment.
