Never recomended
by JohnFalken on Aug 3rd, 2009 at 10:03 AM:
This monitor would be the worst thing you can get in life, even though other monitors fail normally on power supplies, capacitors, voltage regulators, I mean discrete components which are comprehensive issues in electronics, this monitor crashes you on the main video processor board mostly on the chip: FLI5962H which is the LCD controller, a big piece of Taiwan heatness chip. Then nothing to do but wait until someone else has this board in good condition to replace it.

After 2.5 years, DEAD! I have had problems with it for the last 6 months. It has a mind of it's own. I will never buy another EZTouch!
Died after 17 months

My monitor stopped working after 17 months. The Gateway free support is completely unhelpful when out of warranty. I did a search and it seems like Gateway monitors have a high failure rate. See http://gatewaymonitors.blogspot.com/ Also Gateway stops even tracking failures after 12 months.
Nearly perfect--watch out because you could lose button control

I had a problem with the monitor losing a fraction of display at the bottom of screen until I eventually realized that I needed to keep the monitor setting at "automatic."
For a while I thought it was in the PC video chip, since I could tweak its settings and get full display that way. Pesky annoyance every time I turned on the monitor.
Now, no problem, after I learned not to accidentally brush the sensor buttons and cause lost "automatic."
The monitor is otherwise perfect. I have used it for more than a year.
