Gateway FPD1975W 19″ Widescreen High-Definition LCD Flat-Panel Display Review
I bought this monitor recently used from a private seller. I was looking for an additional monitor to run along side my normal LCD; since this was a secondary monitor I was not looking for anything spectacular so limited my selection to used ones. Thus far I have been extremely impressed with the quality of the display (even after 2 years of use by the prior owner)! The colors are much brighter than on my primary monitor and no dead/stuck pixels or distortion. It truly is a plug n’ play monitor so as long as your video card supports the 1440×900 resolution then you are good to go. Initially I searched for drivers for the monitor and could not find anything out there other than the Gateway supplied EZTune software. I contacted Gateway technical support about the possibility of just a driver download and within 12 hours I had an email response stating that there was no need for the drivers. The EZTune software (which I have no use for) simply gives you easier ways to calibrate the monitor attributes like color, brightness, contrast, etc. At present I have no use for it so I have not downloaded or installed it. A little research on the software has shown that there may be some issues with it so I have not bothered pursuing it since the monitor is fine just the way it is!
