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

I have been reading this thread since I was somehow directed to it while doing my initial research on this display way back in the beginning of Dec. 06. This board stands above so many others on the net in as much as it is a great compatible mix of the very, very knowledgeable and the very...

I agree. The Westinghouse is a fine monitor but better for gaming than long hours of PC work. At that screen size the pixel size is really too large for word processing and such. Although it does not look terrible the jagged edges can get to you. best JMD

I was able to use the standard BB 12% off Rewards Coupon. The sales person needed to have a manager help him to key it in and he did. $679.00 - $81.48 = $597.52 plus tax. I have a Nov build. I am happy but I do get a light bleed plum in the upper right corner. Best JMD

Ferris, how were you able to tell it was a Dec model by the outside sticker? Thanks in advance. Best JMD

How can you tell from these colored stickers which month the unit was manufactured in? I bought my second unit at Best Buy in Florida on Jan 10, 2007. It has an orange outside of the box and the monitor inside is labeled as Nov 2006. ALSO WORTH MENTIONING: By using EzTune and...

Do the two Samsung models Samsung LN-S4095D 40" 1080p / Samsung LNS4096D 40" 1080p not have 1:1 Pixal Mapping? Best JMD

If I am correct: DLP tech normally means a projection type of monitor. In other words not flat panel and therefore geared for TV / Movie / 360 & PS3 type gaming and not as a PC monitor. best JMD

Reaper what part of Ireland. I grew up in Cork but now in Florida. I have been think of getting this unit because of the 6000-1 contrast and the advertised "better details in the shadows and better, deeper black areas". Have you found this to be the case? I have a 24" Gateway & a...

My heart goes out to you too! I have always bought top of the line NEC & Iiamya CRT's over the years. I recently made the LCD jump after reading review after review of: "I made the jump to LCD and am I glad. This is way better than my old CRT!" Now wish I had bought just one more top of...

All I had been using the 6.12 drivers prior to this X1950 PRO installed as my last card was an ATI X800XL. Maybe the 7.1 drivers have a few rought edges. I'll swithch back today and post the results. Thanks in advance JMD

Hello All I just purchased the new VT x 1950 PRO AGP. First thanks to VT from us AGP users. Its a very nice card. I needed to return the first card because of a fan failure. Not a big deal as that can happen. The second card was working fine but after two days an odd graphics...

Hmmm Well that is intersting all right. As I mentined in an earlier posting: I have no ghosting, smearing or buzzing. Now not to label this as the possible cause, but mine also is a W. To those of you who have a WH does the box lables / stickers say WH as well? Best JMD

You can save Brightness / Contrast / Color Temp pre-sets via the included EZ Tune software. You can name them and call them up later. Best JMD

Now, now no one is calling you a liar. I prefaced my post by saying: "I am not trying to correct you." I am just simply stating a fact and my hearing is fine. Don't get me wrong I think it is good that you state you are having an issue with the product as it does help educate future...

Sorry and I don't mean to correct you but: Both of my Gateway's are completely silent. I have even tried listening after shutting off my PC at the end of the evening in a practically silent room. Nothing. The only way I hear anything is if I put my ear directly on the back of the...

I bought mine through Sam's Online Store and had it shipped to my office. Sams offers ground shipping only on this item but it only took 5 business days including the day I ordered it to arrive Their return policy is very fair. If you are not happy they will take it back for a full refund...

NO Flickering NO Tearing & NO Buzzing Sounds At All Would those of you experiencing tearing and / or flickering please kindly post you PC specs, especially that of your VIDEO CARD. The above problems are classic symptoms of an over taxed, over heating card. If you are moving up to a...
