Sorry if this has been posted before, but I am looking at buying a new monitor. I will use it more for graphic design and web design not so much for games. I am having a little trouble figuring out what brand and model to go with. As of right now I am mostly looking at the Gateway FPD2275W 22-inch Widescreen HD-LCD Flat-Panel Display. Has anybody heard anything good or bad about this? I was also wondering what types of monitors some of designer that are members here use.

Any help would be great.

if the page doesn't come up just go to cnet.com and search Gateway FPD2275W 22-inch Widescreen HD-LCD Flat-Panel Display.

Myself I wouldn't get that brand I'm a huge Samsung fan when it comes to lcd monitors.

Actualy thats what I have, a very nice 30" Samsung. One of the best monitors I have ever used/seen.

It's fine for games and is brillant for CS3. I cannot comment on it's colour rendering as it's not an area I've ever been concerned.

However note that it cost me just under $2K AUD. Most prob a damn sight cheaper in the US of A.
