With
Dell introducing their swanky plasma TV's you thought maybe the
lowly monitor was forgotten? Well don't call it a comeback, but
Gateway's put some interesting wrinkles in their new 21" LCD monitor.Besides being a widescreen HDTV display, it also rotates 90° to give you all that real estate in a portrait view, and with the included software, automatically adjusts itself when you twist it, nice. It's got 5 different inputs, a DCDi chip from Faroudja, and a four port USB 2.0 hub just to round things out. And did I somehow forget to mention it does picture-in-picture?
Wanted.
Don't forget that it has HDCP to "future-proof" it when you want to re-task it as a small TV somehere...
It certainly sounds intriguing, but when it comes to a computer monitor, i want a monitor that makes things as easy on my eyes as possible. Dell's 20+ inch monitors are highly regarded, and priced very fairly!
