Reviews of the Gateway FPD2185W

CNET Review
The Good: Superb overall image quality; extremely adjustable; affordably priced; has loads of connections, including HDTV, composite, component, S-Video, and USB ports.
The Bad: Merely average DVD-playback quality; skimpy one-year warranty; DVI cable and speakers sold separately.
The Bottom Line: The Gateway FPD2185W's excellent image quality, adjustability, extra features, and decent price make it tough to beat.
