Gateway was very helpful when I called about technical specs, but they didn't have many. I had to play it by ear somewhat. They do have a monitor list somewhere down on their website. You have to wade through the tech support options, but it can give you useful information. Not all of the monitors are listed, and the information is not complete in any sense, so don't expect too much.
Hope that helps, Joe Porter
