Thumbs up Gateway FPD2185W - WoW!!!

Just giving thumbs up to this absolutely awesome LCD. I upgraded from a 19" Hyndai 8ms and its like night and day. This panel is also 8ms, but I found it to be faster than the hyndai while playing games. Its 21 inch, 16:10 aspect ratio, 1650*1050 max res, 1000:1 contrast... it is absolutely insane, quite speachless right now. I should probably add that I was using the vga port when connecting my hyndai and got a high quality DVI cable(monster) for this monitor so a lot of the difference probably came from there. I found nothing bad so far about it, but I have only been using it for 2 hours so we'll see. Highly recommend this LCD to anyone.

If you read carefully I do have a DVI cable.

As for the review I only have one other LCD to compare this to... Not sure it will be any good, since I have no idea what other high end LCDs look like.

Edit: Buahahahah 666th post.
