It"s not a head-turner, but the Gateway FPD1960"s streamlined, classic design aims to please the masses. The panel features an inch-wide, matte-silver bezel, with contrasting glossy black sides. The rounded corners give the FPD1960 a softer appearance. The small but stable circular base supports a thin, matte-black plastic neck.

The height isn"t adjustable; the FPD1960"s panel is permanently suspended 4 inches above your desk, which is a good height for most people but a little low for taller folks. The panel tilts back 35 degrees but doesn"t offer near the adjustability of other monitors we"ve seen. Gateway sells a $50 replacement stand, however, that swivels and telescopes. (It also pivots from Landscape to Portrait mode, but the FPD1960 can"t pivot the image to match.) Two plastic squeeze tabs hold the panel to the neck, so you can swap stands without tools.

Setting up and using the Gateway FPD1960 is quite simple. The power button stands alone on the front bezel, while the other five buttons are hidden on the panel"s right side. Although out of sight, they"re well labeled and easy to reach. If you press the menu button, the onscreen menu (OSM) pops up; a sidebar with arrows labeling the functions of the buttons, much like what you"d find on an ATM, helps you navigate the menu. The OSM lets you adjust the display"s more advanced settings, such as color temperature and gamma, but brightness and contrast have their own dedicated buttons on the side.

The FPD1960"s 1,280x1,024 native resolution with a 19-inch (diagonal) field produces 85 dots per inch--a comfortable density for reading even if you sit back from your desk. But the contrast wasn"t as crisp as we"re used to seeing from LCDs; black text on white background didn"t pop on our tests. The monitor produced fairly saturated colors, making graphics acceptable to look at, but on CNET"s DisplayMate-based tests, we noticed that the panel introduced inappropriate tints at different saturation levels, which can create some color distortion in photos and movies.

Our DVD-playback test showed some streaking or ghosting, which was no surprise considering the panel"s relatively slow 16-millisecond pixel-response time. Problems with screen uniformity are common among LCDs, and the FPD1960 is no exception; our test unit was darker along the top edge of the screen than elsewhere. It also scored fairly low on our brightness tests--despite its more impressive factory specs. We found the screen bright enough to use under standard office-type fluorescent lights, but in a sunlit room, the picture may appear dim.

Gateway skimps on support. Most LCDs have a three-year warranty, but Gateway covers only one year unless you pay an extra $30 to extend it to three. You also have to pay shipping for repairs. Gateway runs a tech-support call center 24/7 on a toll-free line, and you can e-mail questions or chat online with a representative via its support Web site.

I purchased this monitor 11/2007. In 2/2008, the monitor completely died. I called Gateway and they refused to send me a new monitor. they would only send a refurb. (customer service reps were nasty, arrogant, and rude, when you do not agree with them they hang up on you).

Thanks, Jarred, for the informed review. A selfish request--could you review the current Dell, Apple, and Samsung 23/24" LCDs? A friend is in the market in the next couple months and I am buying before the end of the year. From what little looking I"ve done, these seem to be the best candidates so far for hobbyist photo work (and movie viewing, game playing, web browsing...).

Not sure what more could be done to fine tune the display. If you go to the user settings you can adjust RGB colors, but being an LCD it doesn"t really make a difference whether you do that on the LCD or in the Windows drivers. They both end up accomplishing the same thing. I have never looked into "hidden service menus" on any of the LCDs I"ve used, I"m sorry to say.

Thank you for the review. I"m very pleased that you will be reviewing monitors again. In your future LCD display reviews, I suggest that you identify the manufacturer and model of LCD panel in the monitor, and continue to identify the manufacturer and model of the signal processing chipset (you did in this review), as in Kristopher"s November, 2003 "Dell UltraSharp 2001FP Preview: Gaming LCDs for the Masses" review. Finding information about an LCD monitor"s panel and chipset is difficult at best. I suspect that many enthusiasts would often consider the panel type, brand and model when choosing monitors, if that information was readily available. In fact, I frequently read discussions about the merits of S-IPS panels over S-PVA panels. Additionally, would you also alert readers when a monitor manufacturer uses different types of panels in the same monitor, i.e., model. This practice is disconcerting; Consumers simply can"t be certain that the specific model that they purchase will have a specific panel. I believe that a vocal outcry would eliminate or substantially reduce this practice.

Currently, the FPD2485W is listed for $680 on the Gateway web site, while the regular price of the Dell 2407WFP is $750. Dell routinely runs sales, however, and the 2407WFP is available for $675 right now. You basically end up with two very similar monitors that cost about the same amount, although the Dell comes with a three-year warranty included making it a slightly better deal.

The Dell is currently (or was last week) $675 with the three year warranty. The Gateway is $680 + $30 for a 3-year warranty. So right now, the Dell is clearly less expensive. If the price of the Dell goes back up (which is almost certainly will at some point), things change a bit.

The problem is, darker blacks are good but brighter whites are only good up to a certain point. Anything above 400 cd/m 2 is far too bright in our opinion. As you can see, the black levels of both the Gateway and Dell LCD are equal, /quote:

Aren"t you supposed to compliment gateway for its excellent white brigthness while bash dell"s inferior test result? or are you saying gateway"s performance is nothing to sneeze at because it went over mere 5.21cd/m2 of your recommendation of 400cd/m2

Please see the DT028CTFT for reference designs. The schematics between the A and the C are the same with the exception that the A does not have the IPS interface.
