fpd2485w tft lcd monitor pricelist

Looks like Gateway"s jumping into the 24-inch monitor arena as well, getting its hands dirty with a few other contenders (namely Dell and Apple). Their new 24-inch HD Widescreen FPD2485W -- mentioned with their FX530 desktop lineup and appearing on their support site -- gives you another three inches on top of that FPD2185W 21-incher of theirs, and features a 1920 x 1200 resolution panel with 450cd/m² brightness, 1000:1 contrast ratio, 6ms pixel response, 178° viewing angle, DVI with HDCP, two component, composite, S-Video, and VGA inputs, a four port USB 2.0 hub, touch sensitive controls, picture-in-picture, and Faroudja DCDi. Unfortunately there doesn"t appear to be an integrated media reader like the Dell 2407WFP has, but it"s still a way better than Apple"s stripped down 23-incher, and at $679 the FPD2485W"s MSRP is lowest as well. (Tack on another $70 for their add-on speaker accessory.) We"ll be sure to let you know when this guy becomes available. [Warning: PDF link]

Greta monitor for this price. really high quality display with tons of features. has a ton of multiple different inputs so you can hook up other things besides your like video game console, cable,etc. it also come with a sound bar for free which is a nice extar but i have lots of white noise once i turn the volume up not even half way and it becomes annoying which makes it more or less useless for me might be a defect with mine. but u didnt buy a monitor for the sound quality of its optional speakers u bough it for the monitor itself. and this is one hell of a monitor no noticeable ghosting in gaming and the mother is bright and hd videos look fantastic on it. the mother can look very good but colors are defintly off a bit but with a little tweaking it will look great. 5 stars from me came with no dead pixels and i have to real complaints although having a hdmi input would have nice. This is a steal at 300$ buy it before it run out :D

(CNET.com) -- NEC markets the $820 MultiSync LCD2470WNX as a higher-end widescreen display for enterprise customers. That price tag puts it on a higher plane than many other 24-inch displays that usually run about $600. NEC explained to us that it"s because this monitor has higher-end technology than the less-expensive LCDs, but try as we might, we didn"t see the payoff.

The LCD2470WNX showed a very small uptick in image quality compared to other 24-inchers, and despite being intended for the office, it also has a few consumer-friendly features. But none of the image-quality improvements or extras were enough to convince us to pay more for this display that looks as good as others that cost much less.

Similar to NEC"s 19-inch Accusync display we reviewed recently, the LCD2470WNX has a nondescript black bezel. The four-way adjustable stand, however, is a stand-out feature of this display. You can tilt the screen, move it up and down, swivel it on its base, and rotate the screen into portrait mode.

The onscreen menu is also easy enough to navigate thanks to a small joystick among the other buttons. Better though, is that unlike the 19-inch Accusync, NEC"s Naviset software actually works on this model. Naviset moves the on-screen menu to the Windows display properties screen, which means you can control your monitor"s brightness, contrast, and other settings with your mouse. Naviset does not bring the color temperature controls to the desktop, but it does let you customize the display"s preset modes for Gaming, Movies, Photos, etc.

In addition to Naviset, the ostensibly office-oriented MultiSync LCD2470WNX also has a handful of consumer-friendly features. First, it"s HDCP compliant, which means that you can use it to watch protected HD content. We"re not sure how many offices use Blu-ray or HD DVD players for showing training movies, but at least you have the option. We suspect this capability might enhance the LCD2470WNX"s appeal among consumers as well, although you get no built-in speakers with this monitor. We won"t consider the lack of underpowered LCD speakers any great loss. NEC"s display also comes with a USB 2.0 hub. We more or less expect that from most higher-end consumer LCDs these days, so we"re not too surprised to see it here.

When we compare the LCD2470WNX to two other, cheaper 24-inch LCD"s we"ve tested, we don"t find the dramatic leap in performance we hoped to see from a display that costs $200 or so more than its competitors. Its overall image quality ekes out a minor win, largely on the strength of its color quality, and it performs well enough overall, but not enough to set it apart dramatically.

Further, one of the features NEC highlighted was this display"s brightness, which is supposed to be better both head on and at an angle to the screen. Our brightness test is a straight-on measurement, and this display was nearly an exact tie with the $600 Gateway FPD2485W. And when we looked at the screen from various angles, both in portrait and in landscape modes, the NEC showed no real advantage, as the image on both displays held up.

Despite the fact that we don"t find a lot of value in this LCD"s higher-end price tag, we continue to like what NEC has to offer in terms of service and support. The standard warranty coverage lasts for three years. Online you get FAQs, software downloads, and other help resources. And if you don"t find what you"re looking for, you can call the toll-free support line 24-7.

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).

The second monitor did not work right out of the box, none of the touch control buttons lit up and they did not work, I had no way to turn the monitor on or off.

They sent a third refurb unit, and again, right out of the box, the backlight kept turning off, I would have to cycle the power several times to get it to come back on and then it would only stay on for a few seconds. Tech support said they would take back the monitor and the speaker bar add-on (since the speaker only worked on this one monitor) and refund my money for both. He transferred me to customer service to process the refund and returns and they changed there mind and said they will not give a refund. When I asked how long this was going to go on, there reply was "until I get a unit the works"

In all fairness, this is a nice monitor, but three bad ones in a row, and there lack of proper customer service, is enough to make anyone think twice!

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...).

I purchased this monitor over the weekend at a local Best Buy. Here are my results from calibrating with the Pantone/greatagmacbeth Eye-One Display 2 colorimeter using the Eye-One Match 3.6.1 software.

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 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:

Today we are going to embark on a journey that we have traversed for all our life. However, if we do not, or can not, truly appreciate the essence of its thrill; we are missing the whole point. That means, the promises of our LCD screens is under scrutiny today.

LCDs have improved upon the obvious cons of CRTs but with an added baggage of their own newly introduced problem set. Very early on in their lifetime, you used to count the dots aka pixels on the panels. Even now, sitting close to computer monitors bigger than 22” you can witness the dot phenomena of LCDs. The reason behind this is that LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) comes with a pre-specified native display resolution with the manufacturer cramming exactly this much number of liquid crystals into that panel. Therefore a bigger panel with small native resolution makes you spot the crystals distinctly. This problem is almost gone for newer panels.

About the resolution, there is that hype of HD experience. This high definition stuff requires the display to have either of these resolutions 720p, 1080i, 1080p. For us techies, 1280 * 720 is 720p while 1080 refers to the 1920 * 1080 resolution. This is a wide viewing angle resolution of 16:9 aspect ratio. HD also requires signal input through HDMI connection. This connection transfers both the video and the audio signals all digitally; no digital to analog conversion going on. There is that alternate signal connection called DisplayPort that promises to transfer signals beyond HD quality requirements. However, you need to have the same type of connection on both the video card and the LCD. Trends show that consumer electronics are bent towards HDMI while computer devices are interested in using DisplayPort connectors.

On the other hand, our wide viewing angled LCDs monitors typically have 16:10 aspect ratio. 24” LCDs have 1920 * 1200, 22” have 1680 * 1050 and so on. These LCDs can display HD resolutions 1080p and 720p respectively but with degraded experience of black bars at top and bottom of the movies. Newer panels for the year 2009 are going to be 16:9 aspect ratio and they will be cheaper.

Another one is the response time problem. This one matters a lot for gamers. In order to display frames, each and every crystal of an LCD physically rotates to change the colors. This physical problem causes manufacturers to improve and report all sorts of specs regarding response times. You hear of 2ms GtG or 10ms ISO time. That means it takes 2 milliseconds for a crystal to change color from one gray shade to another or 10 milliseconds to change color according to ISO spec. Now, ISO spec implementation varies among different manufacturers. Whatever the case may be, this time should be lesser than 10 ms.

A very similar concept is the Response Time Compensation for a monitor. We are the generation who are witnessing the expiration of CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) technology. We remember the flickering of the frames to displaying a video on our CRT monitors. It seems particularly ugly when you shoot a video of any movie running on your CRT. To make matters worse, this flickering is needed for our eyes. If there is no black out between frames and there is a continuous stream of frames then we’d see frames blurring. This is because the image of one frame is not completely washed out from our retinas before the other frame displays, yielding the blur. There is no such thing as refreshing in LCDs so the black out gaps are artificially introduced. Early generation RTC technology had its share of errors but now things are getting smoother in the latest generation of Samsung.

Pixel Pitch refers to the concentration of the crystal in a square inch, or whatever, it basically is a measure of the crystal density. [Doesn’t help at all in judging the quality of the LCDs]

Viewing angle problem is another pain in the @$$. There are certain panels that provide very good angles but bad response times. Whatever the case may be, if you place the LCD above your eyes level and look at it from below, it always sucks.

Now comes the real deal. Which panel type is the best? There are 3 kinds of panels in common use today: TN matrix, PVA and IPS panels. TN matrix is the most common, cheapest and has worst viewing angles but good response times. PVA & IPS panels have very few differences between them and they are expensive with good viewing angles. Their downside of bad response times are really improved with the use of the RTC technology. However, these panel types are hardly found on LCDs smaller than 24”.

Some monitors come with glossy surfaces. This attracts dust a lot and reflects side lights as well but in a totally closed room it produces very good images. Another hot topic for discussion regarding panel types is the S, A and C panels. They are the three panel manufacturers that Samsung engages for the production of its panels. S stands for Samsung, A for AU Optronics (AUO) and C for Chi Mei Optoelectronics (CMO). But of course best ones among them are the S panels then C then A, albeit minor differences. Its hard to tell them apart but the only way to do this is to look at the complete model number and search it on the internet for details.

There are other bells and whistles attached to LCD monitors nowadays. Side speakers and the recently introduced surround speakers are very easy to spot. One Samsung monitor even attached a second mini-LCD with one of its model. Touch sensitive controls is also available on some models. However, it depends on your needs in order to make a purchasing decision.

Lastly, we have the brands to choose from. Samsung, Asus, Dell, Acer, BenQ and NEC are all good brands to name a few. Just know your current and future needs, watch your budget and pick any wide angle LCD monitor.

I"ve been eager to move my primary display away from my always-a-little-blurry 24" 1920x1200 CCD backlit 90 watt monitor, to a new and more-efficient 27" LED backlit 63 watt 2560x1440 monitor. Boy am I glad I finally did. This is one happy IT Professional/Blogger. The profound improvement to the computing experience was kind of like going from HDD to SSD. Yeah, that good. Once you"ve experienced the great beyond-HD-view for yourself, you"ll never want to go back.

Yes, the on screen physical size of the fonts are about 13% smaller, when moving from 94.34 PPI (Pixels Per Inch) versus 108.79 PPI (calculated here), given the distance to my monitor has stayed the same. But the font is just so much sharper. Even before I re-ran the Windows ClearType Tuner. Large, very noticeable difference. No need to tweak Windows DPI setting for me. And a nice productivity boost, now able to view side by side articles easily/clearly, and edit 1920x1080 HD video in a full resolution preview window.

This particular Korean monitor has one DVI-D input only, no HDMI, no DisplayPort. But I think this picture says it all. I obviously got everything working fine, under Windows 7 x64 SP1 so far, with Windows 8 tests coming up next. At boot, I can see my BIOS (640x480) too. And I can put the laptop to sleep, and wake it up, without incident. And no bad pixels, phew (others are reporting similarly good luck here).

Probably not, given the distance I"d have to reach to touch all corners of a 27" screen, and multi-monitor touch experience wouldn"t really make sense anyway

_I wedge mine against other monitors on a solid table, so typing vibration isn"t an issue at all, but a possible desk stand replacement is discussed here and found at Monoprice for $20.63 here_

if you have a laptop, be sure its integrated or discreet graphics chip specifications specifically state it"s capable of 2560x1440 before you buy such a monitor

with all such small circular power connector equipped products, never plug in the circular connector from the brick to the monitor if the brick is powered up already (green LED), since it could cause some arcing

If it"s still 3rd quarter 2012 and you"re reading this, try this QNIX QX2700 LED, or one of the similar Korean monitors that also have good online reputations for returns. It would seem they"re all very similar, with basic differences in pedestal stability and style.

Last month, QNIX was the price and efficiency champ of the current round of 2560x1440 monitor clones, with DVD-D input only, on eBay for $295.  This month, US power supply and US pre-orders available on this "Nixeus Vue 27" version of the same LCD panel, for $430:

Apparently, nobody makes 2560x1600 resolution versions or 30" versions or anti-reflective coatings at anything approaching affordable, yet. But in my room and configuration, things worked out fine, with the 27" QNIX turning out to work well for using all day long, even at the default DPI, given the extreme clarity of all on screen fonts. And the color saturation of a glossy screen is starting to win me over as well. Finally, extended use has revealed that the monitor also supports the following resolutions off my W520 (specs here). Some resolutions are apparently GPU scaled though, and they look blurry of course:

I have decided to return this monitor, working closely with the seller, who offered me very fair terms for a refund. While shippping costs ~$100, I was able to print the labels and customs forms myself at usps.com, and fully realize I was taking a risk in purchasing a monitor directly from South Korea, and that that doesn"t have a native DisplayPort input. It worked well, but occasionally I was getting the monitor turning off randomly (2-3x per week), not sure if it was related to the power supply, or to the DisplayPort to DVI-D adapters, but ran out of time to find out for sure. I"m genuinely hopeful that this monitor helped folks make informed decisions, with full disclosure about the risks of trying something new, given there was NO good info out there that I could find, about running laptops with 2560x1440. Only time will tell what monitor eventually winds up working out best for my requirements, but I strongly suspect it"ll be a Korean monitor offering direct attachment from my laptop"s DisplayPort, which has states support for up to2560x1600 resolution. Yes, it will likely be from Nixeus, which admittedly does cost more, $449 versus $295, but doesn"t require a ~$100 DisplayPort to DVI-D adapter.

Keep in mind if you have to do a return that is not due to defect in the monitor itself, then you are loosing the shipping cost for the unit originally sent to you (built into price, not really "free"), and the cost to you to send it back. For me, that was a $195 dollar ouch.

Not a monitor I"ve used or read much about, but wow have prices come down, QNIX QX2710 2560x1440 Samsung PLS Panel PC Monitor just $288.90 on eBay here, ships free from South Korea (so returns would be a problem).
