Gateway FPD2185W WS LCD Monitor Review

The Gateway FPD2185W WS LCD wide-aspect monitor was introduced in October 2005. This HDTV-capable liquid crystal display sports 1000:1 contrast ratio and quite an impressive 8 ms response time. Now Digital Home Canada runs it through a couple of tests.





From the review:

Besides being an excellent monitor for computing, the Gateway FPD2185W performs well as a multimedia monitor that can accept inputs from your DVD player, an HDTV digital set top box or even a console gaming devices such as an Xbox. We hooked a DVD player to the monitor and found the picture quality to very good with no problems when displaying fast moving images.

The only real downsides we found with this monitor was the lack of a DVI cable, the awkward placement of the menu buttons on the side of the monitor (we would have preferred the front) and the price tag, which although excellent for a monitor this size, is probably more than most people are prepared to pay for a monitor.
