Nice and Big...
In my office there are two computers, and the one my boss uses has this Gateway EV910 monitor.
I have no idea how much the company paid for this but I can only guess it would have been anywhere from $150 to $200 back then. I checked the price right now and the cheapest is $75. My boss and I have been using this computer for almost a year now and this monitor has not failed to provide the best possible display it can. I was surprised that Gateway can produce such good quality and reliable products.
DESIGN :
First of all the specifications say it is a 19 inch monitor, but actually as most people know that the viewable size is always different. The viewable area for this monitor is about 17.5 inches, which is really good and plus it has a maximum resolution of 1600x1200 at 70Hz. This particular unit that my boss has on his desk is fully white. I personally think that this monitor does not match with the mouse, keyboard, phone and the desk itself. But my boss wanted a bigger better monitor so there you have it.
There is only button (power) and a jog dial button on the front panel. The jog dial button allows you to set the brightness, contrast, size, position, color, and other very useful settings. To get to these settings just press the jog dial button once and the settings menu appears right away. Turn the jog dial whichever way you want to select the setting you want to change and press it (jog dial button) once. To actually make changes to the selected setting, you also use the jog dial. I personally think it is an efficient design by Gateway; it saves space on the front panel, makes it look better, and provides faster navigation through the settings.
