Last week Wilson Rothman took a smell at the newGateway XHD3000 monitoring machine . You may know it better as the 30 - in , 1600p beast exhibit that has scare the collective dirt out of Dell , Apple , and every other contender on the marketplace . For the full consensus , hit the jump for the Frankenreview : every review that weigh in one place ( or at least those from Wired , ExtremeTech and PCWorld ) .

Premise
What they promise seemed unfeasible : a gaming varan with an upscaling chip capable of over a trillion calculations per second . [ 1 ]
blueprint
The XHD3000 ’s uncluttered design blot out a bevy of adjustments … When you press the menu button , menu items appear on screen door , and mat , touch - sensitive buttons illuminate up under the glossy black bezel . These grim - unhorse clit — which remain unseeable until you summon them — shift with each of the many carte du jour ; only the ones that are needed appear . [ 3 ]
Functionality
One of the more salient feature — beyond the displays 30 - column inch size of it — is the desegregate product tour and tutorial . This is actually build up into the microcode of the exhibit , and shows you different usage models and points out key features . you may disable this bit of oculus candy in the fare . [ 2 ]
Gateway ’s EzTune is a version of Portrait Display ’s DisplayTune program customized for Gateway displays … Take the PiP characteristic , for model . Using EzTune , you’re able to move the PiP anywhere on screen — it ’s not limited to one of the four corners . [ 2 ]
Thanks to the XHD3000 ’s HDCP support , you’re able to watch your cognitive content - protect video on a suitably fit out Windows Vista machine . [ 3 ]
Performance
cabinet game ( even ones on the Wii ) look snazzy and PC titles are some of the finest we ’ve seen … ever . Blu - ray and HD videodisk look so realistic , we took to dodge explosions during our Serenity cover . [ 1 ]
… the build - in HQV video central processor does a superb line of upscaling 480i content . We ran Silicon Optix ’s own HQV benchmark on the XHD3000 , and garner a musical score of 121 ( out of a maximum of 130 . ) That ’s splendid , especially if you view that the image was being de - latticed , then scaled to 2560×1600 pixels .

Most of our judges preferred the Gateway ’s range of a function over that of the Dell UltraSharp 3007WFP and the Samsung SyncMaster 305T. [ 3 ]
ending
As we ’ve see , the XHD3000 is a competent , if not highly surpassing , desktop showing . But simply using this as a desktop video display would be a waste . If all you want is a 30 - inch desktop display , you ’d be good off with the HP LP3065 , which offers a panoptic color gamut at a lower cost … As a multifunction show , though , the XHD3000 excels .
