Yet Another Victim Of The Gway XHD3000 Monitor Curse :(

Ah okay, and yes your right, even though Asus makes good MoBo's, LG would be the better choice for a monitor IMO. But I know I took a chance here in what I just bought but at least I saved a bit of $$$ & I just will pray that all goes well.

I would check that out, as I just spent the past few hours making phone calls, as I really hate to trash this gateway right off the bat, and one place that I got a hold of in CA, told me the the panel is actually made by Samsung but assembled by Gateway and they can't get the parts to repair it. Because of the way the panel is made, yet on the other hand I found a few places that say that it can be fixed, so I'm still making calls for now.

I like that 30" model but ended up with the 24" model and now I love it. At first I was ready to bad mouth it and give it a 1 out of 5 stars. I used their set up disc and now know that I'd have to spend a great deal of money to beat it. It kills my 22" LCD running in tandem with it. Plus at only 1080P and or 1900 by 1080 my video card doesn't have to run higher. Now I'd give it 4.5 starts in General and 5 stars on the price. I don't have any critical use for it. That's done with a 19" Sony Trinitron CRT on another computer.

It feels like they made a typo on the price. My Buddie with the higher end HM model went back and bought one for the heck of it! Crap loads folks are running 2 or 3 of these.
