Wow that is an amazing deal. I was going to wait a few months and then buy from Costco to hopefully get the A04 and if not, use the great Costco return policy. I doubt the price will drop to under $700 though. The price just recently dropped to $830.

It also depends on how you plan to use them. I agree the Gateway is bright. In fact I find it too bright. It is in a room that is usually fairly dark and often totally dark. I found the Gateway would burn out my eyes whenever I opened anything mostly white...like google.com. You should be...

The 1:1 would be important to me. Does the BenQ not support that? I know the Dell does but I heard the picture quality doesn't compare with the BenQ or Gateway.

After some googling, I think the Dell has the Faroudja chip as well. I don't see it in the North American specs, but do in the UK ones. Shouldn't they be the same?

Yes it starts off as a very light greyish haze - think of a circle with a brighter white center and gradually fading to black towards the edge. Now superimpose that circle with the center point at the corner of your monitor so that only a quarter of the circle will overlap your screen. That is...

Thanks ID64. Have you compared movies on the two monitors through the component input? Gateway markets the Faroudja chipset advantage for upscaling and there's no mention of that from BenQ. I'm probably waiting for the second generation Gateway as both these monitors sound fairly equal...

My backlight bleeding started on the 10th day and got progressively worse day after day. Same with the buzzing although it never got to a point where it bothered me.

I was thinking of getting the 32 inch. I would only be sitting about 2 feet from the monitor. I had the Viewsonic 27 before and found the resolution (1366) too low. Wouldn't this be the same or worse for the Westy's as it is 1366 spread over more distance? By the way, I also had the Gateway...

I had a Gateway FPD2485 that I just returned because of backlight problems. But I really liked the vividness and the extremely bright colours on the Gateway. How does the BenQ compare? Both the Gateway and Dell have the Faroudja chipset but I don't see that mentioned for BenQ. Does it have...

It was on sale for $699 CDN which was $100 off the $799 regular price. Not a huge deal, but better than nothing...and it was the cheapest that the Dell 2407 was on sale for. But after seeing the amazing picture quality of the Gateway, I don't want Dell any more. As I said before, I can wait...

Well the backlight bleeding in the corners were looking pretty bad, about an inch of whitish/grey haze from each corner. Like I said, it would go away after the monitor warmed up, but it seemed to be progressively worse each day. So finally I contacted Gateway support and they said that was...

I contacted Gateway and they said I should replace the monitor. I'm going to take it back to Futureshop and see if I can exchange (I'm at my 14th day). If not, I'm going to return it.

I just started noticing today that the backlight bleeding in the top right corner seems to be getting worse. After almost two weeks, when I power the monitor on, the corner stays whiter for about 15 minutes and then once the monitor is warm, it goes away completely. Is this normal for...

I'm pretty sure I rebooted after uninstalling v1.3. What's the advantage of v1.4? I'm not sure I want to go through that again.

ID64, I'm still undecided on what to do with mine. My escapades last night did not give me much faith in the long term quality of the Gateway. Did you get it at Futureshop when it was on sale for $699? Can I ask where you got your BenQ from? FS as well?
