Gateway 26" Widescreen HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV

Summary: A Good starter HDTV
Review: I have worked in TV broadcast engineering and have to say that this TV is quite capable as an HDTV monitor, but the contrast, brightness and color will alway default to some unrealistic level. The color especially is too hot and even though it can be adjusted, through an on-screen menu, after some minutes the TV will reset itself to this default value. Gateway were good enough to replace the original unit, only to find the replacement has this same "bug".

The S-video along with the standard video inputs do not suffer the above problem. Each input can be set to its own individual color, contrast, brightness, repective of source.

If you like bright colors this TV is for you. If you are more of a purist, don't touch this one.
