    Gateway - 24" Widescreen LCD - FHD2401

    Just bought mine on Tuesday. Was able to view both the 2400 and 2401 on the floor. 2401 blacklight bleed is a lot less noticable. Also to note, the 2401 has a higher contrast ratio. While the viewing angle isn't the greatest, The color is amazing on this monitor.
