With the top-selling plasma TV line in America, Gateway is moving quickly to offer consumers a wider selection of cutting-edge TVs that break new ground on value and features. Overcoming two common objections to rear-projection TVs — bulk and price — the new Gateway 56-inch DLP or Digital Light Processing TV packs the benefits of rear projection into a package that’s one-third the size of traditional rear projection TVs. Generating stunning HDTV pictures, it’s perfect for consumers who want a big HDTV monitor without the limited viewing angle and bulky design of standard rear-projection TVs.
Unlike competitive companies, Gateway’s three-channel strategy includes the ability to showcase thin TVs, home theater systems and other CE devices in its nationwide network of 190 stores. This model enables consumers to evaluate how the products perform and work together before making a purchase decision. According to Gateway’s customer satisfaction study, 94 percent of its TV customers during the past quarter reported making the purchase through a store, demonstrating the company’s distinct advantage with its multi-channel direct model.
Gateway has become a leader in home entertainment in less than a year. After launching its first thin television in November 2002, Gateway became the top U.S. seller of plasma screen TVs. The company offers a full line of thin TVs — ten LCD, plasma and rear-projection models ranging from 13-inches to 56-inches.
“Gateway’s digital TV offering is unparalleled in terms of value, size and style,” said Matt Milne, Gateway’s senior vice president and general manager of consumer solutions. “The addition of a rear projection model opens an entirely new market for Gateway and presents another opportunity for the company to bring more homes the benefits of digital technology at a great value.”
The rear projection TV is a comprehensive offering with built-in speakers and dual NTSC tuners. It also extends the ability to connect external devices including DVI-based DVD players, HDTV tuners, gaming modules and VCRs. Plus, it’s the perfect visual medium for Gateway home theater systems, which enhance the entertainment experience with dynamic surround sound.
Ideal for big living rooms, the striking size makes viewing favorite programs a superb home theater experience. Its 1280 x 720 (720p) native resolution and 1000:1 contrast ratio create exceptional image clarity. The HDTV monitor(2) can receive a wide range of high-definition programming available now and coming soon.

Gateway introduces 56-Inch DLP television
Gateway offers 1,000-watt sound for $1,000
The Gateway KAS-303 Home Theater System — which today takes its place at the top of the Gateway home theater system line-up — delivers stunning clarity backed up by 1,000 watts of power. Priced at just $999(1) including the 6.1 receiver, progressive-scan DVD player, center channel speaker, five satellite speakers and subwoofer, it offers more power than most systems costing twice as much.
Also today, the company expanded its LCD TV line to include a compact 13-inch version and a 30-inch 16:9 wide-screen model, making Gateway the premier destination for digital TVs.
Unlike traditional retailers and typical direct companies, Gateway has the ability to showcase home theater systems, thin TVs and other CE devices in its nationwide network of 190 stores. This enables consumers to evaluate how the products perform and work together before making a purchase decision. Gateway’s consumer research during the past six months shows that roughly 85 percent of consumers expect to purchase CE products at a retail store, demonstrating the company’s distinct advantage with its multi-channel direct model.
The KAS-303 Gateway Home Theater System and new LCD TVs build on Gateway’s outstanding track record in home entertainment. Less than a year after launching its first thin television, Gateway, Inc. has become America’s top seller of plasma screen TVs to consumers across all product sizes, surpassing Sony, Panasonic, Samsung and other traditional industry leaders, according to Gateway’s own figures.
“Gateway’s home theaters and full line of market-leading digital TVs bring a stunning cinematic experience to the comfort of home,” said Matt Milne, vice president of digital solutions, Gateway, Inc. “Available at half the price of most competitive offerings, the powerful, 1,000-watt sound system creates a first-class entertainment experience without emptying our customer’s wallets.”
