Gateway’s newest additions to its monitor line may not quite be as large as the 30-inch Extreme HD display it introduced earlier this month, but for normal folks who like their monitors to be smaller than their TVs, they’re still pretty large. The company announced its 22- and 24-inch HD Widescreen displays on Thursday, touting not only their size but also resolution and response times.
The 24-inch FHD2400 boasts full high-def resolution of 1900 x 1200, blurring the line between gigantic monitors and small 1080p HDTVs. In addition to its normal DVI-D connector for computers, it also has an HDCP input to accommodate for high-def sources. Other bells and whistles include a rotating stand that allows the screen to pivot 178 degrees, and software that will automatically adjust the image when switching between landscape and portrait views. The same software also provides advanced options for color calibration, and Gateway claims its LCD panel can display 92 percent of the color gamut.
The smaller-but-still-massive 22-inch HD2200 offers 1680 x 1050 resolution, which means it can display 720p HD video. Like its larger brother, its stand swivels 160 degrees, and it gets the same Gateway EzTune software.
Both monitors are already for sale via Gateway’s Web site and select electronics retailers. The FHD2400 goes for $549.99, with an optional speaker bar for $49.99. The HD2200 sells for $349.99, with its speaker bar coming in at $39.99.
