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

    When I had this lcd I ran it with a Dvi-d cable on both ends and it ran fine. I did try to connect it with a dvi-i cable originally and it was identified as an anologue connection so I went with the dvi-d cable instead and it gave me a sharper picture. I had an ati radeon 9550 and it ran the...

    Hi, I'm running a 23 inch benq at 1900X1200 dvi native rez with a bfg 6600gt oc. From what I've read only the geforce cards with dual dvi can run the rez. The ones with vga and dvi can't run it because of an internal controller issue. I use it for hdtv watching and recording with an ati hdtv...

    Gateway fpd2185w 21" LCD

    there's nothing wrong with the S-PVA screens. It's just a matter of personal taste. I found with the gateway and other s-pva screens that the picture looks darker in the center when viewed head on. If you look at it from an angle it gets lighter and the colours seem to change. For me it was very...

    Picking up the HP f2304

    I returned the Gateway FPD2185W because it has the same characteristics. I really tried to get used to it but I couldn't! It was just very annoying. i ended up getting an Acer 2032w with the S-IPS lcd and I'm very happy with it. Simply put, It's much easier on the eyes. I wanted to to get the...
