Dell is not the only economical player within the wide screen monitor arena. Gateway has stepped up with their FPD2185W.
The world is getting wider—or at least, our windows into the virtual world are. Widescreen displays are all the rage now, both in the living room and on the PC desktop. But sometimes you want a display that can do a little of both without costing an arm and a leg. Last year, we reviewed the Dell 2405FPW, a 24-inch widescreen display with a native resolution of 1920×1200 pixels. Since then, Dell has dropped the price of the 2405FPW, but it’s still north of $800. [Read the rest]

Total piece of junk!!!
Dies as soon as it is out of warranty.
Worked for one year with various problems at the end where when you turn it off it won’t go off OR it won’t come back on - you have to unplug it & plug it back in to get it to do either and then one night it just died.
I have seen many others with this same monitor and the same problems with the system that mine started out with. Wish I had seen them before I bought it.
Purchased 7/15/06 - Died 11/03/07 was totally protected from anything bad but died anyway.
Gateway says “TOO BAD - have it repaired at your cost”
Best Buy says it is not worth the cost of the repair as the circuit board is fried.
I will NEVER waste my money on a Gateway product again.
