    Gateway XHD3000 - 30" Widescreen Extreme HD Display

    Just got my check They even covered Tax charges for a total of 1,814.64 Read some bad things about the HSN Warrenty, but frankly I have yet to have anyone say they've had a better experience than this

    Gateway XHD3000 - 30" Widescreen Extreme HD Display

    Beleive it or not... they are sending me a check for $1700 haha :D The process went ok and about as timely as one could have hoped for. Should get the check in the next 7-10 days. I ordered the KDL40XBR7 Sony 40" LCD 1080p with 120hz (retail at $2100, but got it for $1550) and two of...

    Gateway XHD3000 - 30" Widescreen Extreme HD Display

    Hey everyone, Pretty sure I read this whole thing from the beginning over the last 1+ year. I was an early adopter Sep. 2007. Thought I'd document my issue. When I bought it through HSN, I bought their 2-year warrenty and had to use it today. I bought it 11-27-207. So far customer...

    Gateway XHD3000 - 30" Widescreen Extreme HD Display

    Finally someone understands the lag! I was scolded when I brought it up a month ago... I thought it was better though after I got a PS3 last week (used to use the PS2), but your still complaining about the lag. I haven't had a chance to game online yet and my brain is now used to the lag...

    Anyone compare this to the Dell equivilant yet? I'm curious if Dell's scaler has lag. $300 more though

    Gateway XHD3000 - 30" Widescreen Extreme HD Display

    Just wanted to comment on the static-y sound. Mine is a high pitched that is on constantly, but vairies in pitch as a scroll. I knew it was the monitor, but had no idea it had to do with the speakers... I have my Logitech speakers hooked up through the monitor's 'output' and just turned them...

    Gateway XHD3000 - 30" Widescreen Extreme HD Display

    Personally, I think it's worth taking it back, but rather than doing it now, I'll wait until newer builds come out. I got the 3-year warrenty, so I may even wait for next year's model. It's a defect that would fit the warrenty's guidelines in my opinion. I'd just rather wait and get a new...

    Gateway XHD3000 - 30" Widescreen Extreme HD Display

    This happens to me as well. I plan on waiting 6 months and then complaining about it once they get some other bugs fixed as well.... if I can hold out, then I'll wait till next year's model comes out so I don't have to deal with this lag anymore

    Gateway XHD3000 - 30" Widescreen Extreme HD Display

    Thank you for your informative post! I will definitely start messing around with the settings. I'm very glad to hear that 1080p has less lag than 480i (or p). I still have the monitor because other games look better on it and I fell in love with it as a monitor (I work about 12 hours a day on...

    Gateway XHD3000 - 30" Widescreen Extreme HD Display

    I think it's a combination of having a lot to scale and that I'm pretty sensative... after playing more today on it I'm really not noticing the lag as much since my brain is adapting to it. But it is pretty bad when playing driving games. You can steer over and it takes an extra 1/10 second to...

    Gateway XHD3000 - 30" Widescreen Extreme HD Display

    I have a 30" HD CRT television and it does a much finer job. I did try some other games and a dvd later today and was much more satisfied. I guess Need For Speed Wanted just doesn't look good on the XHD3000 I don't know about the input lag.... it's a very tough decision. I got 'used' to it...

    Gateway XHD3000 - 30" Widescreen Extreme HD Display

    I finally received my LCD after waiting for over two weeks. Needless to say, I was counting the days :D There's a huge defect with mine though. When I plug in 480i content, the scaler makes it extremely pixelated. There's also noticable lag when playing the PS2, but that seems to be common...
