Bought this, brand new from BestBuy almost 2 years ago. First off, my room is small. In a livingroom, no less than Samsung for size+resolution. For my room, (or anyone at a desk-think distance X resolution-This thing is/was WELL worth the $650+ I paid. nothings perfect. low view angle means greys as mentioned. HDMI, DVI, Component, Composite, S-Video, VGA...optional speaker bar. This is my TV, runs samsung upconverting dvd player thru component, PS3 thru HDMI, any old game system thru composite (ugly, raw, how it was made-N64,SNES-PS1-NES, etc) GameCube thru S-Video...Next plan is DVI to computer tower (for PiP) & VGA to Gateway laptop. All that plus raise it & tilt for portrait mode...web pages in vertical widescreen...touch controls...worth more than I paid. now its under $300!? ill buy two more for wider PC view! long live Gateway, first pc i used in highschool lol

I've owned a 24" Gateway monitor for over a year now. It has worked well but there are problems that make me want to stay away from Gateway in the future.
First of all the monitor has a glossy face, it is very reflective and a pain. When you turned on the monitor, it plays a little tune which eventually becomes obnoxious. The final problem is that every time I turn it and my computer on, a box comes up asking me what language I want to work in. EVERY SINGLE TIME! To dismiss the box you have to touch the button next to your language. Like today I want to work in French or Japanese? There is no way that I can see to turn this feature off.
About a month ago I contacted Tech Support to ask them how to turn off the language box. They replied that my monitor was out of warranty. It's not a warranty issue and that was a bad response! I will never buy another Gateway product.
One final point that pushed me into buying a Samsung 23", which is great. When I would put my computer into sleep mode and then turn it back on, the Gateway monitor usually would not come on showing the computer; just snow. I would have to put the computer to sleep and wake it up several times before the Gateway would figure it out and show the computer. A pain in the neck. The Samsung comes on just fine first time, every time.

For a monitor that cost little it's very good. It does have some minor problems such as the grays and pixal drift. It also has some viewing angle probelms where colors are SLIGHTLY distorted. I use this monitor for photo editing so I'm more picky than most people. For me these probelms do not effecit my ability to edit photos.
In the next couple of years I'll probably get an apple monitor and then after that a Eizo. But this is a good starting point IMHO.

Gateway FHD2401 24" Widescreen HD LCD Monitor
The clarity is exceptional. The easy access to the menu items by touch (no buttions) including the on off is remarkable. Great buy for what you get. Working on two documents at the same time from different programs is great also. Games are awesome on this screen.You have to see it to believe it. Bill Marsh, Colorado Springs, Colorado.

This monitor has a lot of mixed reviews over the internet, but there seems to be a common issue with color banding and poor light grays that I noticed myself which ultimately caused me to return it in favor of the new Samsung 2233RZ. The store where I purchased this at still has this monitor for $[...] which is the same price as the new Samsung, but you can certainly find it cheaper over the net, and refurbed for around $[...] right now at CompUSA.
I will admit that I miss the presence this monitor brought to my computer area though. It is a very bright and beautiful monitor, and I loved the touch menu capabilities. If I only used my computer for internet browsing and watching Hulu shows, then I would still have this monitor today. Unfortunately the gamer inside me yearns for visual perfection in colors and detail, and not to mention that I overpaid at the store for this particular unit.
Bottom line: Great bright display perfect for moderate use which plenty of inputs, but if you're a gamer with a fickle eye for detail then you'll want to look elsewhere.
