Gateway FHD2400 LCD, who owns one?

Post by DaddyRabbit »

I bought one of these at BB last weekend. I returned it yesterday for a like exchange because the left half of the screen was a grayish green where the right half was white. The new one has less of the issue (bottom left corner). I don't know if it's just me or I have two bad units. It's not intolerable but after I bought it I read on another forum that this monitor has progressively increasing backlight bleed.

The other issue that I have is that the EZtune software seems to be fighting with the Nvidia control panel for picture settings.

Yeah, I think I just have to do some more tweaking. It's a big screen and a TN panel so, if you add progressive bi-focals and a dark room well...

I must say that other than this issue this is a great monitor, the menu system rocks and it's bright enough to toast the eyes. Colors are great when well adjusted and it "rawks" at gaming. If I take the second back I'll be looking at another brand though (w/o a TN panel).
