Hello, For years time I have wanted to find this long lost thread to make a long overdue follow up report. It was here I first started reading reviews on a new 24” Gateway monitor, the FPD2485W. That was back in late 2006. Back then, a 24” monitor was still considered massive and a...

I have to respectfully disagree on that. Surely a game running @ 720p / 1080p on the 360 or 1200 on a PC would need to have much more detailed and therefore much larger textures than a game running 480. These textures would need more time to produce and and space to store. Take a look at...

It works after reading the manual. What a shock! No disrespect but didn't you notice anything odd when your desk top icons were off the screen on the top left hand corner? I am very interested in this monitor. I felt the Westy 37" was a great value but better for gaming than a monitor as...

I have a quick question for you. One problem is:It first looks like Your "friend" seem to operating the unit at a non native res. This will effect picture quality. As you can see from the pictures your desktop icons are off the screen in the top left hand corner. But since the screen shows...

This is not a fix but may I make a suggestion to eliminate the distraction that occures when moving windows that contain text and or graphics? Since it is highly unlikely that you need or are trying to either read, type and or edit the windows contents with while you are moving it around the...

I echo the sentiments made by TalonMan above. Currently this monitor is an excellent value in the 24" category, with these features, connection options, 90' rotation. Since no LCD has the ability to completely eliminate ghosting and create true BLACKS I personally I think many of us hardcore...

Slack-jaw Actually what i was really trying to ask you was what your setting were regarding: Brightness Contrast Hue Saturation Lamp Setting 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 ? Your Far Cry inerior corridor photo looked great. Best JMD

Great photos, thanks! Could I ask whot you have your monitor settings are. Also is that via VGA / DVI or other cable? Thanks in advance Best JMD

Sorry for asking you to restate what you had already posted. Wish I could offer an answer. Best JMD

WOW! That really is insane. Surely there must be some pattern here as it seems even the those with higher end systems still show poor results. Using the test above my Nov model shows only the slightest, faint shadow. Are you using: EzTune? A VGA or DVI cable? best JMD

The Sams in FL has the Westinghouse 37" 1080p for $1047.88 + freight & The 42" 1080p for $1399.88 + freight. As one who has the 37". If your plan on using this as a PC monitor the 42" may be over kill because of the larger pixal size. best JMD

I have an odd question for the more knowledgeable among us: In the past if a CRT's refresh rate setting determined the maximum times per second the screen could be re drawn. And, any frames per second your video card delivered above that refresh rate would be over kill or a...

After reading this I was more than curious so.... I saved the image to my desktop. I reopened it in a small window using the Windows Picture & Fax Viewer I then moved the Picture across the desktop and.......no flicker I will say I did need to go into: My Computer / Properties /...

Well after finding your previous post and then reading your system specs you shouldn't have a problem "pushing' the display. Since others site they don't have a flicker effect nor does mine it could be that you have dud monitor. best JMD

It could be because the 21" had a max native res of 1680 x 1050 while the new Gateway 24 " is 1920x1200. That may not seem like much but that is 35% more pixel real-estate your vid card has to move around. Best JMD
