Gateway FPD2185W 21-inch Widescreen Monitor
Yeah, that’s right - you read correctly. Gateway. They are still in business somehow, and just dropped a pretty decent new monitor on the market. Not to be outdone by the widescreen fashionistas at Apple and Dell, this box of pixels is a 21” widescreen LCD, all for $599 (with free shipping to boot). Not a bad deal if we do say so ourselves.
...offering HDCP content protection over DVI, which will allow you to play content from digital set-top boxes and high definition disk players, should the latter ever ship. Having HDCP also makes the display Windows Vista-ready. While HDCP isn’t a requirement for normal Vista desktop use, it will be necessary if you plan on using a Vista system to play back protected video content from HD-DVD or other sources, if those HD-DVD or Blu-ray discs require it.
All the details and lab test results can be found over at Extreme Tech.
