I'm not sure whether mine is normal or not, I got it last week from NewEgg.
Notice the gamma changes from top to bottom of the image, making the pattern more defined at the top and washed out a little at the bottom:

Can I just tell them I don't like the monitor? I also bought the 4 yr service plan and would like to return that too.
Anyway, does anyone know the monitor return policy of BB? Can I take this back within the 14 day period and return it for a refund? I'm interested in getting a BenQ g2400W (or probably the new D version), but BB doesn't carry it and so I can't just exchange my fhd2400 for it. Currently, the BLB isn't so bad to say that I can tell BB that the product is defective, but I'm sure it will only get worst and I don't want to miss the 14 day window. Can I just tell them I don't like the monitor? I also bought the 4 yr service plan and would like to return that too.
Was the FHD with BLB problems the latest revision from march? Some posts talked about how they werent having the BLB problem but no one has posted results after a few weeks of use.

Okay, here are the 2 week pictures I promised:

Scary, isn't it?

Well, I was able to acquire a floor model FHD-2400 at Circuit City for $369, and I'm really liking this monitor. Unfortunately, they didn't have the software CD that was supposed to come with it. So, is anyone able to throw up an ISO of the Gateway CD on RapidShare, or some other file hosting service? I've called Gateway, and they not only don't have the calibration software available for download, but they don't have the CD available to send to me. This is of course what happens when a company gets so large that it outgrows common sense...
Hey Obsessed,
If the blb isn't bothering you and you like the monitor, then go ahead and keep it. The 1565.jpg picture makes the blb looks like more than just minor. If you've had the monitor for 2 weeks already then it's already too late to return it to BB (check the back of your receipt for the 14 day rule on monitors).
I had this monitor before (you can search for my posts in this thread) and I hated the blb. I ended up returning the monitor to BB and just received a BenQ G2400WD from benq.com. I'm guessing you're considering the FP241W as a replacement because it has the plethora of inputs like the fhd2400, but at least for me it was too expensive. If you end up wanting to change monitors, I suggest you give the G2400WD or the V2400W a looksie. They still have hdmi, dvi, and vga and are much cheaper than the FP.
I really only need DVI, VGA and HDMI cause I have a pc, 360 and ps3. So do either of the monitors you listed come with all those and how's the gaming/viewing on them etc for all three systems?
In March 2008, Gateway seemed to move all to one factories production and have no bleeding issues. Models before vary. I bought one last month and it is flawless.
I returned two March 2008 models due to heavy blb that beg to differ. Glad your monitor came out well, at least it shows that not every fhd2400 has blb problems.
I was glancing at BB's website and noticed this:

The specs are very similar, it doesn't have the variety of inputs the 2400 has, but hopefully the BLB issue has been resolved with this revision. Additionally the stand looks cheaper...anyone have this yet??
