New Westinghouse 24" LCD

[QueBert]

Saw it at Best Buy the other day, looked absolutely beautiful, the picture on it was very nice and the bezel was one of the best I've seen. I can't find any info on it, but it looks interesting. I kind of wish I had put off buying the Gateway 24", but I had no idea this Westy was coming out.

From the new minutes of messing with the display model, I like what I see. And it's appearance is just sweeeet, the clear part of the bezel at at the bottom really makes it stand out.

Is this what you are talking about?

I think that's what he's referring to, due to the clear bottom part of the bezel. Looks like a TN panel.

I work at best buy, and I set one of these up last week. I was very dissapointed in this monitor. For one I couldn't even get the screen to center correctly on 1920x1200, plus video playback was average at best. I would save up $50 more and get the new LG L246WP or the 24" Gateway.

Right QueBert, no reason for buyer remorse with this one.

It is a TN panel as shown by the "170° horizontal and 160° vertical viewing angles" claim on the Best Buy web site.

Sleep Well... :moon:

for that price the dell 2407WFP is the better panel.

not to concerned about the panel, every LCD I've seen has been pretty m3h to me in terms of how the image looks. I have the Gateway 24" my GF has the Westy 22" me neighbor has the Dell, I notice differences, but they are small. And viewing angles don't matter since I'm always right in front on my screen.

I'm not super happy with my Gateway, but I have to get over my CRT passion and face the facts

OLED displays will eventually make you happy, but you will have to make do with your 24-inch widescreen monitor in the meantime :disgust:

Wanna trade for my good-as-new Viewsonic PF775? :evil:

This has TN panel written all over it.

I'll be staying far far away.

I love my Gateway, sorry you dont.

sorry gonna return it and order a 21" Viewsonic CRT off Newegg, I ain't holding my breath for OLED monitors to hit anytime soon. And I'm done with LCDs all together.

and to Matt2, it's not that I hate this Gateway, it rocks hard for text, but for graphics and gaming I'm just too used to having a good CRT, for the over $700 I paid I don't feel I should have to settle. I'm glad you love yours it is a very nice overall screen
