Just to confirm, are you running at 2560 x1600 on your PC and is the speaker bar attached? Try the setting with the speaker bar attached first and then power off, disconnect the speaker bar and connect your Creative speakers back. Not sure if this function only works with the speaker bar or not.

Gooch, First, turn on the PIP, then go to Main Menu->Audio->Audio Source then select PIP Audio. After you move the arrow to PIP Audio, you will need to touch the select button. If you don't have the PIP enabled, the Audio Source function will be grayed out. Now, when you have PIP on, you...

You should check out the thread on the new Gateway XHD3000 display. It will be comming out in a few weeks and has multiple video and audio inputs and is NOT limited to dual-link graphic cards only. You can connect single link DVI, VGA, HDMI, Component, Composite and S-Video to this display...

To all ... my suggestion (like others) is take a wait and see attitude and wait for the reviewers to start chiming in.

That's a PANEL gamut improvement only. The brighness drops as well to 300nits and you STILL can't connect anything other than Dual-Link DVI to these panels.

Yea, but you would not be able to connect anything other than a PC with a Dual-Link DVI connection to the Samsungs .... no such restrictions with the Gateway 30 ... This display really is for those that want one display that can do it all ... maximum PC desktop resolution and video / CE...

No connection with Gateway here ... I just happen to have owned two previous Gateway displays (21" and 24") and have been happy with them. I wanted to pass on the info on the 30 because I came across it at CEDIA and thought that people would want to get a pre-release take on the display. I...

I saw the display with my very own eyes .... it really does look great.

I don't know of ANY WAY to use an external HD tuner box and have it output WQXGA (2560x1600) into the Dell 30 ... the Dell can only take this as it has no scalar in the display. In my opinion, I can see using this display in my office as the one and only uber-monitor. I can hook up my PC, HD...

There is NO comparison between the Gateway 30 and the Dell / Apple / HP / Samsung 30W displays. They only have dual-link DVI as their only input (you can't connect anything other than a PC with a dual-link graphics card). The Gateway 30 on the other hand has all the inputs (Dual/Single Link...

You would have to assume that this monitor was developed WAY before the Acer acquisition (which hasn't even been consumated yet!!). I think that after the merger, Acer products will remain the same and Gateway will continue to have more advanced features. Per all the stuff I have read on-line...

Absolutely not ... as I said in my original post, HD and SD content looked fantastic scaled to native panel res (2560 x 1600). This is because Gateway is using the Silicon Optix Realta HQV processor. Check out www.hqv.com ... this chip is VERY powerful.

I have a Gateway 24 and never had a problem with it. I game, surf and use it as a small HD TV in my office ... Looking forward to upgrading to the 30. Time to clear out the clutter on my desk!!! :eek:

I looked at it from left and right maybe 70 deg or so and didn't notice any off axis viewing issues. I was told that the panel is PVA type so it must mean that it is Samsung. As for ghosting, I played Bioshock a bit and didn't notice any ghosting issues.
