    Xbox 360 on Gateway FPD2185W?

    When I used the VGA cables, yes the colours are washed... so much so it becomes impossible to even see some shadow effects... Also, I'm 100% certain it's not the monitor's component abilities, as I have both a Game Cube and a PS2 also hooked up by component (via a decent JVC switch box for...

    Xbox 360 on Gateway FPD2185W?

    I have the VGA cable, and I gave up on it (and I also have this monitor too!)... it stretched the image for me, meaning it took the 16:9 image the 360 is sending, and it turned it into a 16:10 image (the aspect ratio of the monitor)... so there was some vertical stretching going on, and I could...

    XBOX 360 and FPD2185W's brightness...?

    Hello, I've got my PC and three consoles hooked up to this monitor (the PC via DVI-D, and the consoles all on component working through a good video selecor by JVC). Now, the PC, PS2 and GameCube all look great in terms of their brightness, but the XBOX 360 is too dark. I've read other people...

    XBOX360 Better on Gateway FPD2185W or Dell 2405FPW

    The problem has more to do with how the 360 outputs over component. I have all three consoles over component hooked up to the Gateway (via a JVC switch box), and I can tell you both the PS2 and GC look great... the 360 can be dark on some games (PGR3)... which is very strange I know. Hopefully...

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

    Are you using the official SONY one's? You shouldn't have a problem with them if they are. If you're using third party cables, try and bring them back... if that doesn't help, then bring back your monitor... it does work, I have it working on mine.

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

    Yeah, I play mine with this monitor as well as PS2 and XBOX 360... it looks great, but you'll see the flaws with the image generated by the cube (I.e. jaggies... texture gradients... and more)... BUT, that's no fault of the monitor's... rather, now you're able to see what the GameCube REALLY...

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

    It's surprising to me to see people having issues with the monitor and their graphics cards... I'm using an ancient Radeon VE 32MB DDR that's about 5 years old with the DVI-D (that old card has a DVI-I port on it that works to DVI-D)... maybe I got lucky, in which case I'm not goin g to change a...

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

    OK, before I switched over to VGA on the 360 (and since having returned to component do to aspect problems with the VGA)... I had the component on the 360 and PGR3 looked bright (at least brighter than it currently does)... I'm still tweaking the settings, and once I get them back, I'll post my...

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

    Thanks... the unplugging trick worked!!! (as well as leaving behind the VGA cable) The only problem now is that whenever I use another console (i.e. the PS2 or the Cube)... the monitor does its stretching thing again, and needs to be unplugged. Good to know that the thing can display a 16:9...

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

    Hello All, I've had this monitor about a week or so since it came out (Oct 17th I believe)... now, one of the main reasons I bought this thing was to use it for both my PC needs, and consoles. Now it looks absolutely beautiful with the PC and a DVI-D connection. And it also looks good with...
