Description:

Tight on space? Merge your computer monitor with your television set with Gateway's 17-inch widescreen LCD TV. Its broad, sleek screen has a 15:9 widescreen aspect ratio that more closely matches the dimensions of your favorite movies than a standard 4:3 screen does. Further, the set is fully compatible with DVI-capable DTV set-top boxes and high-definition computer signals. It has VGA and DVI (digital visual interface) inputs and a host of other convenient audio/video connections, not to mention an NTSC tuner for immediate over-air reception.

Kitchens, bedrooms, offices, or dormitories will be equally well served by the set, which features a built-in carrying handle for easy transport. An included table stand simplifies desk- or table-top positioning.

LCDs are more power-efficient than either CRTs or plasma screens. While they may not be as bright, overall, as plasmas, they get more wallet-friendly every month. You'll see none of the irritating scan lines or flickering that's visible on CRT sets or monitors, and you can forget about both ghosting and image burn-in, no matter how many hours a week you spend parked in front of your favorite video game.

This Gateway television is no slouch in the specs department, offering an impressive 600:1 contrast ratio, high (423 cd/m2) brightness, and a wide, 170-degree viewing angle. Stereo speakers with 2.7 watts per channel offer strong, clear sound, and you can always plug a pair of headphones into the set's headphone jack for more private (or just louder) listening.
