i want to get this monitor because im on a budget and ive just gone over the limit by a few pounds and dont want to go over anymore.

However im wondering if that monitor is good. Here is what i saw from the reviews that cought my eyes.

Unlike the majority of new screens here, the F22+ uses a CCFL backlight, which we found uneven and comparatively dim compared to the latest LED displays. This meant that contrast suffered, and detail was lost in very bright or dark areas. There's a slight yellow cast as well, which added warmth to photos but meant colours were a little inaccurate. The F22+ drew 34W of power when on, which is about 10W more than the average LED-backlit screen.

Viewable size 21.5 in
Native resolution 1,920x1,080
Contrast ratio 1,000:1 (60,000:1 dynamic)
Brightness 300cd/m²
Horizontal viewing angle 170°
Vertical viewing angle 160°
Response time 5ms
Response time type Tr/Tf
Screen depth 62mm
Base (WxD) N/A

3 Year Warranty

Should i buy this monitor?

Here is what i will be using it for

1) Web browsing
2) Video watching (such as youtube), or movies
3) Gaming (not ALOT but i will be doing some gaming)
4) Video Editing
5) Image editing such as photoshop

Thats in order of most used to least used. So web browsing the most and image editing the least.

Will not be the best, but should be OK for the money. Has a great 3-year warranty. That's unheard of with inexpensive monitors.

This is generally a reason why some things cost more than others. At that low cost there are usually some trade-offs, you can count on lower image quality, more backlight bleed, low quality component composition, etc...

The fact that the company backs it for 3 years at least counter balances any low-quality component issue you may have.

what about that

Personally, I've never chosen a monitor I couldn't see first. You just really can't trust the specs on these things. They all have different ways of measuring response time, contrast ratios and other features. That's a good price and they back the funtionality, but it may have a terrible picture or bad colors or something else you never wanted to live with. A "good" picture is very subjective as well. You just don't know unless you can see it for yourself.
