Gateway HD2201

The HD2201 is a mid-level model in a series of monitors released by Gateway in late summer of 2008. The HD2201 features a 22” widescreen display at a 16:10 aspect ratio, and a maximum resolution of 1680 x 1050. This design makes the HD2201 ideal for multimedia, including viewing video, photo editing and gaming. The contrast ratio is rated at 2000:1, meaning users will see distinct blacks and whites along with its 5-millisecond response time, which alleviates blurring with fast moving imagery. This monitor can display both digital and analog content using the DVI-D (with HDCP) or VGA port, respectively. HDMI and component inputs are also accepted, allowing for the monitor to be used as a 720p compliant HDTV. Other features include picture-in-picture with user-adjustable video transparency, plus Energy Star compliance. Users looking for a smaller or larger screen should look at the other monitors in the series; the HD1900 or the FHD2401.
