Gateway 18" LCD?

[Deptmaster]

Hey guys I was hoping that you could share what you think of the 18" LCD that gateway is selling for $650 at the stores. It seems like a good price and from what I've seen the specs look pretty decent but I can't find one review anywhere on the net.
The logo wouldnt bother me I'm more conserned about $$$/performance.

Thanks, Ian

The 1280x1024 kind off bothers me I hate not having a true 4:3 ratio. It squishes everything vertically.
