Look like nice monitors. Gateway has been known for decent monitors.
mine looks just like the one in the picture.
but i can say, i love this monitor, could only imagine the newer one is even nicer.
Seriously what is with this boring new resolution thing.
Every freaking latest monitor is 1920x1080, why dont people make higher 16:9 resolution supporting monitors, why always that freaking 1080p??
They are launching 26,24,23,22 and now 21.5 inch models ALL supporting up to 1920x1080.
There are 3, 23 inch monitors out there doing 2048x1152.
Why are there no 24 inch models with even higher, not to mention 26 inch models.
Why is there no 30 inch model in 16:9?
we had SD, HD, and 'full' HD TV's at their respective resolutions - but the one above has not been decided yet.
TV's and PC screens are linked now - same aspect ratio, same resolutions.
Use to be 4:3 screens and monitors could do all the way up 2048x1536 and the 16:10 monitors could do 2308x1350 (something like that).
Then came along LCD, 16:10, resolutions depending on size, 1440x900, 1680x1050, 1920x1200, 2560x1600.
And now with 16:9 it suddenly all different and a problem?
Like I said there ARE already 16:9 model monitors doing 2048x1152 and there are Quad HD tv screens.
1080P is a struggle for gaming on PC, HD consoles and blu ray can only go up to it... there is zero pressure for a company to release a screen with a higher resolution. THey will eventually, but why when no one would buy it?
People still want them for editing and autoCAD etc?
Also I can game with an 8800GTS G92 on 2048x1536 just fine so saying its a struggle is bs, people are also running multiple monitors at the same time which increases the res even more.
