gateway tft lcd monitor fpd2275w manufacturer

When you start creeping up in screen size, the stand the 12-pound LCD rests on becomes more important. The Gateway"s oval base is wide and heavy and made completely of metal. This is a sturdy stand, and it keeps the display firmly rooted in place. Smooth, glossy sides contrast the matte black on the front and back. You get tilt adjustment, but that"s about it; no swivel, no rotating to portrait mode, and no height adjustment without the aid of a monitor stand or phone book. Gateway does sell a $70 stand that gives you all of the above adjustments plus four USB 2.0 ports.

The Gateway FPD2275W is awash in video ports. In addition to VGA and DVI connections for desktops and small laptops, you get component, composite, and S-Video ports for pretty much any video device you may have in your living room--DVD player, Blu-ray or HD DVD player, game console, video camera. In addition, it supplies one upstream USB 2.0 port and four downstream USB 2.0 ports, effectively turning the hard-to-reach port on your PC (or Mac) into four USB ports around the lower-left corner of your display.

The Gateway FPD2275W received a composite score of 80 on our DisplayMate tests. We would have applauded that score had this monitor been available and reviewed this past April to compete against HP"s 22-inch w2207, at the time a 75 and tops for its class. A score of 80 is still excellent, but the 22-inch ViewSonic VX2255WMB matches it, while the 20-inch HP w2007 finished way out ahead with a score of 87. On our other two main image quality tests, the Gateway turned in a respectable maximum brightness level that was nearly identical to the ViewSonic and a contrast ratio that was slightly lower. It excelled on our HD video test, showing a near flawless image during a Blu-ray of Swordfish. Casino Royale on DVD looked smashing, and F.E.A.R. showed no ghosts except for that creepy little girl.

Unfortunately, the love affair ends here. The Gateway FPD2275W garnered an 8 or above (out of 10) for design, features, and performance, but its one-year warranty makes it below average for support. Three years is the industry standard for LCDs; Gateway charges $29 if you want to tack on two more years. We also found Gateway"s site too sales-oriented; our search for a FAQ page or drivers led us to pages that offered various pay services--not the type of answers we were after.
