Monitor goes dead in about a year and a half [Posted on 2007-06-15] As has happened to many others, my monitor went dead (blank screen / can't turn it off) a little after the warranty expired (after a year and a half). This was a very expensive monitor and Gateway knows that this model is defective, yet they refuse to admit this or do anything about it. Also, like many others, this is definitely the last Gateway product of any type that I will ever buy. I hope others follow suit.
disappointed [Posted on 2007-10-08] Two years old and monitor quit working. First it would not turn off, needed to unplug the power source, then it just turned to black. A complete waste of money. Why should a $500+ monitor quit working after just two years. Will not buy another gateway product. They do not stand behind their products.
GATEWAY Monitor - expensive junk [Posted on 2007-11-14] UPDATE:
I finally reported Gateway to the BBB in January and in less than a week I had a new monitor.
:Total piece of junk!!!
Dies as soon as it is out of warranty.
Worked for one year with various problems at the end where when you turn it off it won't go off OR it won't come back on - you have to unplug it & plug it back in to get it to do either and then one night it just died.
I have seen many others with this same monitor and the same problems with the system that mine started out with. Wish I had seen them before I bought it.
Purchased 7/15/06 - Died 11/03/07 was totally protected from anything bad but died anyway.
Gateway says "TOO BAD - have it repaired at your cost"
Best Buy says it is not worth the cost of the repair as the circuit board is fried.
I will NEVER waste my money on a Gateway product again.
Don't Waste Your Money On This Piece of Junk [Posted on 2007-11-29] Bought this monitor along with complete Gateway System about 20 months ago and now, like many others, the screen will not come up...Blue light on all the time and of course Gateway Support says " Oh too bad for you, we have your money, Ha Ha." I will never buy another Gateway product and you may want to think it over before you commit. I'm thinking about smashing it on Youtube...to send Gateway folks a message.
1.7 year life unacceptable for $500. item [Posted on 2007-12-02] Power button useless shortly after the year warranty was up and display totally gone after 1.7 year use. Product was great while it lasted, but for $500. I expect a longer life.
