I'm having even more trouble with this thing. Apparently 480i gets some really dreadful deinterlacing (very reminiscent of what the PS3 was doing with PS2 backwards compatibility a while ago), so as far as my PS2 goes, this monitor is only acceptable for the handful games that support 480p...

You really have no idea what you're talking about, do you? All NTSC DVDs have a standard resolution of 720x480, which then gets resized to 4:3 or 16:9 by the DVD player or the screen itself. Yes, there are movies with different aspects, but they still get displayed in 16:9, just with black...

Actually VGA isn't even "washed out" anymore after MS released a software fix in the spring update. One just has to set the black level to "expanded" and it's all good.

This monitor is really getting on my nerves - while its component input is really good, I can't set the image to a correct aspect ratio when using a PS2. Basically Aspect Mode always makes it use a ratio corresponding to 720x480, which is neither 4:3, nor 16:9. This is even worse than my...

I don't care how dark it is. Contrast and brightness settings can fix that somewhat. My problem is the massive glow around sharp lines, the combing artifacts, and the overall blurriness of the image. Anyway, I went to Future Shop today to get a VGA HD cable for the 360 and to look at the...

Does the Gateway one have better component input?

I got this monitor a couple of days ago and I'm reasonably happy with it, but I find it to have a lot more faults than most reviews suggest. I actually bought it because of the extra inputs (so I can hook up my Xbox 360 and PS2), but the component input is absolutely dreadful. There's a terrible...
