Slow start (by 3 users)
Using this as a computer monitor (via DVI), if I turn the monitor off using the power button, when I turn it back on again, I get a black screen with the Gateway logo for 57 seconds, and then after the picture appears, the monitor superimposes a big "DVI" icon over it for another 57 seconds. Is this normal? Obviously, waiting nearly two minutes every time is getting a bit annoying.

I have had my Gateway FPD2485W for several months working fine. It is
plugged into my UPS. I would turn off my monitor every night, leaving
the computer on. Every morning turn it back on. Suddenly about a month
ago I am getting the same Gateway logo that fades and stays on much
longer than usual. Then the DVI logo stays on a long time as well.
I personally don't see how plugging it into another outlet is going to
solve the problem since it worked fine for months the way it is. Now, I
use a screen saver and just leave the monitor on all the time. But
occasionally the power button gets touched accidentally and the monitor
goes off....grrrr then I turn it back on and wait for the two logos to
do their thing.

hey, I had the same problem. Gateway told me "Plug the monitor power plug directly into a wall electrical outlet
or a different wall outlet by removing any surge suppressors." I did that and it works. It might be a certain kind of power bar they do not like. It worked for me so try that and see if that helps.
