While visiting their website, and viewing the product specs, the webpage said the HD inputs accepted every resolution EXCEPT 1080i - but this is an error!

I called Gateway a few minutes ago, and after explaining the omission, the sales clerk put me on hold, came back on and confirm that this display DOES ACCEPT 1080i [along with 480i/480p/720/1080p] and then upconverts to the native resolution of 1600p.

I'm really interested in this as a potential TV, since I sit only 5-6 feet away from my current Sharp LCD [32"], and the higher resolution is a real "lure" perhaps.

The Gateway sales rep did not confirm when local dealers will have this unit available for sale. If you order from the telephone sales rep at Gateway, they really put the pressure on you to buy, and offer both free shipping, and 6-months interest free financing on a Gateway card [takes a few minutes to apply and be approved].

I might order it, but would rather see a unit in person first.]]>Oct 4th 2007 5:40PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/04/gateway-intros-30-inch-xhd3000-quad-hd-lcd-display/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/04/gateway-intros-30-inch-xhd3000-quad-hd-lcd-display/
Having a Realta chip is nice though. Good luck finding any source other than a high end computer that will feed it natively. The Realta chips are basically one of the best upscaling chips meant to be put into a consumer device, even if it's usually put into high-end consumer devices.]]>Oct 7th 2007 2:42AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/04/gateway-intros-30-inch-xhd3000-quad-hd-lcd-display/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/04/gateway-intros-30-inch-xhd3000-quad-hd-lcd-display/
What do you mean by this statement? [confused]

This Gateway unit has multiple analog/digital inputs and will process any application signal natively fed to it... ?

Please explain your comment further - thanks.]]>Oct 7th 2007 3:13PM
