Bought this around 2/2007 and it almost made it to 3 years. The backlight goes out after a second. It stays on after turning the monitor off for a while sometimes. The backlight does not stay on now. If I switch inputs, it detects DVI and the backlight flashes on and off. It has come on after...

Does anyone know of sites in other countries that show Olympic video? NBC says their over-the-air viewers aren't able to watch LIVE, long form replays and NBC encore videos. http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/whatsthis.html Q: What if the television service provider that I choose is not part...

I installed Windows XP Professional on this Gateway GM5424 with a nVidia 7900 GS 256 MB and got a surprising 3DMark2001 score. With Windows Vista the scores went up to 20,000+, but with Windows XP the score was 28,000+. I thought the Vista performed at about 90% of XP, but this is like 71%. :eek:

No. Tell Microsoft you upgraded your motherboard and whether or not the original motherboard still works. Then come back here and tell us what happens.

Don't listen to this guy. He seems to know what the OEM EULA says about motherboard upgrades, but seems to say the ethical people who knows about the motherboard upgrade are paranoid. You're either ethical and paranoid, or you unethical enough to legally aquire an OEM license and break it...

I had a stuttering, frame dropping problem with Vista Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player. The problem was the default Microsoft (MPEG-2) Video Decoder. This was quickly fixed by installing NVIDIA PureVideo Decoder Platinum 30 day Trial and modifying the registry. If you don't want...

There are some UAC options in the Local Policy if you don't want to turn UAC off completely. I found out about them from the Vista Guide at http://www.tweakguides.com/TGTC.html. Start, Run, secpol.msc Local Policies, Security Options User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the...

Is your monitor a MXH72 and does it have inverted ghosting?

If you can get a Links toolbar in Explorer like I've seen some installations of Vista have, you may be able to add a link to ".." as an up one level button. There's always Alt + Up Arrow.

Trying to resize my desktop icons messed up the positions they were in, so I've been looking for, but could not find a way to restore the positions because I think Windows doesn't save the positions until my account logs off or the computer shuts down. How about adding a warning to that tip.

What if you run malwar/virus as administrator? What kind kind of protection is there?

Here's some reading material for you if you care about these kinds of benefits. From Sysinternals: TechNet Magazine: Inside the Windows Vista Kernel In this first part of a series on what's new in the Windows Vista kernel, Mark Russinovich looks at changes in the areas of processes and...

After many irrelevant emails with Gateway and posts on newsgroups and Microsoft forums, Dan at IT Associates posted downgrade rights information from Microsoft's OEM site which requires enrollment. http://forums.microsoft.com/genuine/showpost.aspx?postid=1259956&siteid=25 Afterwards, I...

Did anyone check for inverted ghosting on a MXH72, yet?

I think you mean "Yup to the inverted ghosting on every [FPD2485W] monitor." and not "Yup to the inverted ghosting on every [LCD] monitor." because inverted ghosting isn't on every monitor. By the way, did you read my other post with the response I received Gateway Technical Support?

Are you saying you had 3 or 4 monitors with iinnvveerrtteedd ghosting, but the one you have now has none or less iinnvveerrtteedd ghosting? Let me remind you we're talking about iinnvveerrtteedd ghosting on the prad test and not rreegguullaarr ghosting which we know about.

What have you done with your monitor settings? Do you not notice inverted ghosting that is there or do you not have inverted ghosting at all? prad?

"Inverted ghosting should not appear on a monitor, regardless of any model. Gateway products undergo quality checks before being shipped to customers." Here is another reply from Gateway: I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. Inverted ghosting should not appear on a...

I first sent Gatway: > Issue Description One: I'm getting inverted ghosting on this FPD2485W. > Does this happen on all FPD2485W monitors? I had one with a serial > number starting with MGL6B and have one that's MGQ71. Reply from Gateway: > Thank you for using Gateway's Online E-mail...

Please, don't bring up regular ghosting on other monitor when talking about inverted ghosting. Is this video made with a bad display or do all FPD2485Ws have inverted ghosting like it?

I just did VGA 1600x1200, centered, original aspect ratio, with black space on both sides.

I don't notice the inverted ghosting sometimes, too. What is bothersome is when you do notice it. Did you see the inverted ghosting following cards being dealt in the inverted ghosting video?

Do you have inverted ghosting?

Does anyone know what the H is in 7010666R - Gateway FPD2485WH 24-inch Widescreen High-Definition LCD Display from Desktop 24-inch Monitor Support Docs by product?

I still haven't gotten a clear answer about inverted ghosting. I went through three and all three eventually ghosted in an inverted way. MGL6C, MGQ71, MGQ71. I want to know if I should bother exchanging these anymore. Does every FPD2485W have the inverted ghosting after at least an hour on...

I bought this Gateway GM5424 Desktop from Best Buy. Here are my comments since I couldn't find much from Google. Best Buy uses this computer with the Gateway FPD2485W 24" LCD Monitor (1920x1200), but HD shows on live TV stutter or drop frames when Windows Media Center is full screen with Aero...

I wish there was a way to rate posts in a thread instead of just the whole thread. I'd be able to find this post without reading the less informative ones.

Another post about a ghosting post?! I just want to know if every FPD2485W has the inverted ghosting or not. Can someone post a http://www.prad.de/en/monitore/ghosting2.html without the inverted ghosting on a FPD2485W? Thanks.

When I first got the MGQ71 replacement and tried the prad test, it looked like the ghosting wasn't there anymore. After some time, I guess when it warmed up like you said, the inverted ghosting became more noticeable. I was also wondering about a firmware upgrade and searched gateway.com, but...

Bought from BB, a MGL6B (not sure if it was November 2006 or December 2006, but had a brown label), but returned it for a MGQ71 (January 2007, gray/silver label) because someone returned there MGL6B for an MGL6C and said there was no more ghosting. The MGL6B and the MGQ71 both have the...
