We’ve seen a recent surge in 24” LCD monitors over the last few months. All the major players have weighed in with their single-DVI-saturated behemoths. Gateway has shocked the market with the first high-quality 24” screen priced under $700. No coupons, waiting for sales, or deal site acrobats. The FPD2485W suffers from one fatal flaw, though: consumer perception. Is the FPD2485W priced so low that consumers will doubt the quality? Is this a case of “you get what you pay for”? We are happy to say that the FPD2485W is a first-rate product all around, and we hope to assuage any fears of cheap build quality or missing features.
