    Gateway FPD2485W - 24" HD LCD

    Gateway FPD2485W - 24" HD LCD

    Look at the Window Sills. There is bad ghosting. I will upload the video of what it is susposed to look like so you can see the difference. It'll be up in about 15 mins. It also only shows 1/3 of the monitor because it's that 1/3 that has a gradient that displays banding. The other 2/3's is just...

    Gateway FPD2485W - 24" HD LCD

    Having recently purchased the Gateway FPD2485W I am promptly returning it today. The banding is horrible. It cannot display a smooth gradient and tries to color correct it which causes a "Color Correction Flicker". What I cannot live with is the horrible ghosting while playing FPS games. I...

    I just purchased a thermaltake armor case, and am wondering how others have mounted a radiator in the front of the case. I dont want to put a dual / single radiator behind the case, but want it all contained within the case. I've seen some screenshots where people have the radiator in the...
