i just remembered that i don't get any hd channels unless i order them, and to order them i have to have a digital cable box. so i guess my only option for watching actualy hd channels is to order a cable box through the cable company and hooking that up to the monitor.

also, i would hook up the computer to the monitor using the dvi cable. so with that used up, i wouldn't be able to use the dvi slot from the cable box to the monitor, whould I? i'd have to go with s video or composite. so i would probably have to use s video or something on the computer and dvi for tv, right?

connect your p.c to your monitor with vga and for tv i suggest connecting your cable box with the dvi, it's digital so you might need to have the digital set boxes.

now i'm thinking of just going a step up to the dell 2407

http://www.costco.ca/en-CA/Browse/Produ ... v=&Browse=

I mean, i'm spending $600 for gateway with shitty warranty, so i'd have to buy extended warranty from FS for $120, so $720 or spend $999 and get a 24".

Decisions decisions...

went and picked up the gateway 21".

only prob i see so far is the right side of the screen is darker than the rest. not that big of a deal. i'm gonna go to costco and see what they have there too. i'm pretty happy with the monitor here, but if I find something better, i'll take this one back. It is beautiful though.

haven't tried it with any games yet though.
