Gateway GT5656 Desktop with 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor & 3-in-1 Printer

[Leonard Chatagnier]

Comments requested, please.  Had planned to buy but
getting cold feet.  User reviews rated monitor at 2/5
with only one recommending a buy.  Monitor has
multiple dead pixels and usually last only about a
year(warranty period) before burning out.  I would
welcome any comments from anyone having experience
with this monitor or any recommendation for a good 19"
or better WS-LCD monitor.
There were no user reviews on the PC so any feedback
from experienced user of this machine is welcomed.  Am
 not up-to-date on the HD-LCD monitors or the video
graphics cards(this has onboard nvidia 6150 SE on MB)
and doesn't seem to have DVI-D capabilities AFAICT. 
Am I correct that this is required to get HD output
from the monitor?  The CPU is an AMD64 X2 6000+ w
3gigs memory, 3MHtz, and 500 G SATA drive.  The
package is listed in BestBuy's sale add this week for
anyone wanting more info.
Appreciate any feedback.  Thanks,

Leonard Chatagnier
