You can get it much better looking after you adjust the display some.
Under the "Picture" menu, adjust Saturation/brightness/contrast. I think the Gateway keeps separate picture/color profiles for each input.
You may still have a muddy looking picture-but at least it can have good colors :)
I picked up the FPD2275W. Initially I was disappointed with the backlight bleeding (over an inch on both top and bottom), but after using the display for alittle over 24 hours the bleeding has gone down considerably. Now it's just a small line-perhaps 2-3mm thick- on the top and bottom.
I'm looking for a widescreen display around $400 that has:
A decent resolution for PC
VGA
DVI (Like to have this HDCP-but this option is not NEEDED)
S-video
component video
composite analog inputs
So far the only ones I have found are the FPD2275W and LCM-22w2

I prefer the slight bit of resistance a soft pad offers. I find it makes flick/twitch shots more accurate.

I've purchased around 200 of these (with case) for work related builds over the last year and a half.
FYI, they have about a 30% failure rate within a years time, although only ONE of those was DOA-all of the others crapped out over months of use. I'm not a fan of Antec Smart Power...
Try lowering the textures to Medium? There seems to be bugs galore with the High texture setting.
The game ran perfect for me on 3 different rigs - retail version, no MP installed.
BTW-is the MP any good? I didn't install because people where saying the SP was bugged with it installed.
The one game that got my goat was Adventure Island for the NES. I never did beat that POS either....

Another vote for Call of Juarez using DoF effectively.
I also thought the effect was used well in Tomb Raider:Legends.
But yeah, the OP is right. Most games that attempt to use DoF effect over do it.
