All the 22" screens are TN type, which is the lowest quality
image. Either move to a 20" or a 24" screen and look for a S-IPS panel
type.
Look at this:
http://www.pchardwarehelp.com/guides/lcd-panel-types.php
Then at this:
http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/index.php?title=Master_Monitors_List
If you're going to use this for photo editing, be sure to steer clear of
TN
panels. They stink. BTW, that 22" Gateway screen that's listed as a PVA
panel is a mistake...

And this, from "Bob Petrushka" --
"One item, the new Lenovo, L220X, 22 inch monitor, is a S-PVA panel. So
there is some hope for this LCD monitor to be a decent one. I can see
that
I most likely will want a S-IPS for the photo editing."
