Gateway FHD2401 @ Newegg @ $190!!!

Tell me what you think of the purchase....

Happy Birthday

 

[venkman]

happy bday

 

[cubeless]

happy bday, and:
25in i-inc @ td for $189...

just fyi... would have to add shipping and/or tax... i had a look at one of these and it looked ok, especially for the price...

 

[Cheex]

Thanks guys but my birthday is tomorrow. Thanks in advance!!

That i-inc is nice but i specifically wanted 1920x1200
I'm a gamer and I like the 16:10 ratio.
Besides, the monitor can easily do 1080 (i don't mind the black bars) but the 1080 can't do 1200...boo! IMHO.

 

[jjmIII]

Yes, I saw your Birthday is tomorrow, but went ahead and gave you Birthday wishes today. I'm crazy like that .

That 24" has some questionable reviews. Maybe this 23" for $180 with better reviews??

Yes it is....as I said though, I prefer the 16:10 aspect ratio (1920x1200) rather than the 16:9 one (1920x1080).

In for one to replace my aging Dell 20" WS.

Debating picking up a pair of these. But I am also interested in this one.

I worry about the Gateway monitor. Seems like it gets avg reviews.

 

[Cheex]

Cool!! Glad to pass on the deal to you!!
Well you might get yours before me (I'm all the way in Jamaica).
So PLEASE let me know how it goes when it arrives!!!

I thought about that one but I need a HDMI connection (for DirectTv2Go).

 

[Cheesetogo]

The reviews make it sound like it's a pretty big piece of shit...

That is also a nice deal.
It has a nice (odd, but nice) resolution but only if you like (or don't mind) the 16:9 ratio.
As I said before....to each his own.

Well, this is more a follow-up to the FHD2400 which got very nice reviews. Not sure but I think this uses the same panel. The only real complaint was the backlight bleed. Oh...and the noobs that don't know how to use a touch sensitive control panel complain about that as well.

Got this for a relative in August for $299, is good, not great. For $190, its freaking epic.

Yeah. I was about to buy but the reviews on the Egg and other places are less than stellar.

Those who have seen this monitor, how would it compare to the Viewsonic VX2433wm? I know the Viewsonic is lower res (1080 not 1200) but I'm just talking about picture quality. So far it's between these 2, and I'm leaning towards the VX2433wm because of it's great reviews and it's 2ms GTG response time.

Got room in your luggage for a graying Old Hippie who's dying to go back? :brokenheart:

 

[ahenkel]

Took a risk on an open box 24" Asus Monitor few months ago paid 150.00 shipped. Item came basically brand new still even had the protective film on the LCD. Best gamble I ever took.

Wish I did....LOL!!

 

[TridenT]

This sucks, I just bought a 19" 1440x900 for $58. I can't buy another LCD because ATI crossfire doesn't support 3 monitors.

 

[Cheex]

Isn't there a way to make that work?
I mean you do have 4 outputs after all..... ??

lol@everyone thread crapping with the 1080p monitors. Nice find op
