Ok I asked my wife for a xmas present of this new gateway 24inch widescreen monitor at best buy. I like buying monitors from best buy cause if there is a pixel defect they will replace them no questions asked unlike newegg. Here is the weblink and I think its the same as the dell 24inch in features.

Second reason is that we have about $300 in gift/return cards to spend at best buy so I think I have a good chance in getting this $680 monitor for xmas (plus we have a 10% coupon too). Any thoughts on this monitor before I go into "wishing - begging mode" with my wife (God I hate to admit that I dont wear the pants in my family - lol)?

Your credits should cover it...(use the extra $$ on her,I swear it will pay off later)

24" is insane. I would go the way markkleb suggested.

That's most likely the monitor that I'll be getting as well, I know about 6-8 people who have them so far and love them, almost no negatives except an occasional humming noise on one or two that I've read about.

I gotta with markkleb & werty on this one... the extra 2" won't be that a big a deal (unless you're a graphic designer or somethig). With your credit, that 22" should do you just fine Word to the wise though, make sure to look at the picture quality face-to-monitor and judge for yourself

[Victor]

why is gateway only support the monitor for 1 year.

I think Dell's 2407 maybe a tad better with HDCP support. saw it's on sale for a little less than 600.

man, can't believe having a monitor more expensive than the pc itself. I want a big screen but just can't convince myself to spend 600 on it.

[Miles]

Well I just joined the club, I picked up a Gateway at my local Best Buy and so far couldn't be happier!

As far as Gateway vs. Dell that will probably be a controversy for years to come...this monitor has none of the issues that some of the Dell monitors reportedly do...No Banding, No dead pixels, No major backlight bleed and it looks just as good or even a tad better in my opinion. I also like the fact that I could buy it locally and not have to have it shipped.

It's also the only 24" monitor on the market currently that does 1:1 pixel mapping. This sucka's huge even after coming from a 21.3" Samsung...Colors are much brighter and more vibrant as well.

Yeah, you're right Miles. I personally prefer DELL LCDs, as I had good experience with them, though I currently don't own one, but hey, that's just me!

Anyway, CONGRATS on your new LCD Miles...and 'welcome to the club'!
