I ordered one today, but put in a "Cancellation Request" shortly afterward.

Just a quick heads up:
This monitor does not work with all DVI video cards. It uses an older standard for input. (DFP)
It includes an adapter.
This monitor went through 5 revisions in the time it was available.
Each revision supported certain cards.
This is probably why they include the Diamond card.

Gateway only supports this monitor in Win 95/98/ME
Win2000/XP are not supported. Drivers are not available.

Pin87a do you have a Paypal acc't? RossMAN, I think there's your convincing argument against getting it. A Diamond video card.

Sorry, don't know how to make the link, but they do have drivers for Win2K and i'ts a great monitor. Actually, I have one almost new for sale, if interested, just email me.

 

[RossMAN]

Pin87a - Please PM me your PayPal e-mail address (for your $5), it was your post which ultimately made me decide to cancel my order since I'll be upgrading to XP soon.

 

[Rally1]

yeah they are great monitors! I want to sell mine too. Your post leads to the question: If so great why are you selling it?

 

[BustaBust]

Also, here's some more info on this monitor from gateway's site:

Text:
The FPD1500 is a 15.1-inch (diagonal) viewable LCD flat panel display that provides virtually the same image as a 17-inch CRT monitor. This monitor has a digital interface implementing PanelLink technology. The LCD is a high-value thin film transistor (TFT) display capable of a 1,024 × 768 resolution.

This 15.1-inch digitally controlled, active matrix TFT color LCD display monitor is made by LG Electronics. The display monitor comes housed in a plastic case that includes the LCD panel, driver ICs, control circuit, backlights, and inverter for backlights. The detachable tilt and swivel base, power cord, and detachable digital visual interface (DVI) to digital flat panel (DFP) video cable, part number 8004161, are also included with the monitor. A video card with a DVI video port must be used with this monitor.

Windows® 9x automatically sets the monitor type upon startup. In Windows 9x, the Monitor Type setting must be set to Unknown Monitor or Laptop 1,024 × 768. Either of these two monitor types functions correctly.

Looks like it's made by LG - anyone know how good the LG displays are?

Anyone know if the video card is AGP or PCI? I'm assuming AGP, just wanted to make sure though. BTW, there's 31 left as of 8:36PM EST. Looks like they keep releasing some more into inventory...

I think the reason the number keeps increasing is people initally jumped on this deal thinking it's HOT but after reading Pin87a's post and my ATOT thread they realized this deal isn't all that hot.
