I would only be using it for movie watch, and in bed surfing, just wondering if anyone has one from compgeeks and could tell me the quality

I've used the Gateway large screen before and its nice.

just for your info Gateway changed its name from Gateway2000 to Gateway several years ago... They now offer large screen presentation systems on their website under business offerings.

For the heck of it I wanted to check what the shipping would be on the Gateway because the shipping weight is 225lbs. After I entered my zip it came back saying that shpping was unavailable in my area. i also tried the zips of other Wisconsin cities-no dice. If you live in Wisconsin, like me, they wont ship to you.
