    Gateway's FPD2185W: a 21in widescreen 2005fpw killer!

    I got my Samsung from Staples - $449.99 - and they accepted the online $40 off $200 coupon from Office Depot that I printed out and brought it - VERY COOL! I have not tried a 360 on it, but on another thread a guy did and posted pics - looks awesome. I don't think the HDTV picture sucks...

    Samsung 940MW

    I apologize if I said it comes with a DVI. It doesn't. I still love it. Screen is matte. I have not tried cable TV yet, but I will be soon. As fas as scaling, I thought the monitor did that very well on what I have seen. Also, it does have a 4:3 mode too. $500 CAN is a good price for...

    Gateway's FPD2185W: a 21in widescreen 2005fpw killer!

    I tried EVERYTHING - 3 different apps, all kinds of settings - it was the monitor. Got my new one (the Samsung 940MW) and it works great, no problems. In my perspectives (although a lower rez) it is easily 2x the monitor for 2/3 rds the price. I love it. I am glad I switched. Saved over...

    I'm looking for a widescreen CRT. Can anybody help me out?

    The FP900 will never be beaten - it is the last great CRT. Especially since you can get one for about $300. Anything that would beat it would cost you $2000 - like it did when it was new. I had one and now I have an LCD: I decided on the Samsung 940MW and I am WAY impressed. I got it...

    Samsung 940MW

    I decided on the Samsung 940MW and I am WAY impressed. I got it for $410 - no rebates, no shipping waits, nothing. Wireless remote, PIP, very good included speakers, awesome menu options, VERY bright, and I can see everything - even when the environment is dark. The ONLY downside to this...

    Gateway's FPD2185W: a 21in widescreen 2005fpw killer!

    Well after having this monitor - it is NO killer. Unless you mean it kills all the details when you are looking at really dark things, that is if you like looking at your monitor head on. I returned mine. I loved the picture size, but hated the loss of image. I decided on the Samsung 940MW...

    Cannot watch DVD on FPD2185W using DVI

    Then how come I can play DVD's if I hook up my 24" Sony CRT? Same movie - different result, only change is the monitor...

    Cannot watch DVD on FPD2185W using DVI

    I will try it, but it seems that there is a real problem if the same exact thing happens with more than one program. Maybe not. I will try this tonight and see. I really like the monitor, so I need to figure this out. I know the Dell 2407 is supposed to hit their website - maybe today, so if...

    Cannot watch DVD on FPD2185W using DVI

    I have the FPD2185W Gateway monitor - hooked to my 7800GT through the DVI. Everything on the system is fine - played some COD2 as well. No issues. If I put in a DVD, once the DVD starts, the screen blanks. It doesn't lose the signal, it is like it cannot display it. Pretty much like the monitor...

    Gateway's FPD2185W: a 21in widescreen 2005fpw killer!

    I did not read all 55 pages of this thread, but I went about halfway through, so forgive me if this issue was ever addressed. I have the Gateway monitor - hooked to my 7800GT through the DVI. Everything on the system is fine - played some COD2 as well. No issues. If I put in a DVD, once the...

    FS: Pair of XFX 7800GT video cards $420 SHIPPED.

    Sorry Spawn, but he decided to sell both to me. Maybe it was my catchy name. Either way, doesn't matter. I got them both, but I would be willing to sell you one for $275. That is still a good deal... PS... Just kidding :p
