Before Every Monitor Looked the Same… Gateway Built This.Gateway FHD2400 24-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor – Model LP2417 – 1920 × 1200 – Manufactured September 2007A Feature-Packed Classic Display for Retro Computing, Creative Workstations and Multi-Input Setups
Offered for sale is a Gateway FHD2400 widescreen LCD monitor, model LP2417, manufactured in September 2007.
This 24-inch display comes from an era when premium computer monitors were designed with generous connectivity, substantial adjustable stands and a full 16:10 widescreen workspace. Its native 1920 × 1200 resolution provides more vertical screen space than the common 1920 × 1080 format, making it useful for timelines, documents, spreadsheets, editing interfaces and vintage computer setups.
The FHD2400 was also unusually versatile for its time, supporting computer and consumer-video connections including HDMI, DVI and VGA, along with additional analog video inputs.

Connectivity
One of the strongest features of the FHD2400 is its unusually broad input selection.
Depending on your equipment, it can accommodate:
- HDMI
- DVI
- VGA
- Component video
- Composite video
- USB connection
- Audio connections
This makes it useful not only as a computer monitor, but also for older gaming consoles, DVD players, video equipment and mixed-generation workstations.
Why the 16:10 Display Still Matters
Most modern budget monitors use a 16:9 television-style format. The Gateway's 1920 × 1200 resolution provides 120 additional vertical pixels compared with 1080p.
That extra height is especially useful for:
✔ Video-editing timelines
✔ Music-production software
✔ Long documents and webpages
✔ Coding and development
✔ Spreadsheets
✔ Photo-editing controls
✔ Dual-monitor workstation layouts
Perfect For
🖥 Retro PC and Mac workstations
🎬 Video-editing suites
🎵 Music-production setups
🎮 Older gaming consoles
💻 Secondary computer displays
📊 Office and spreadsheet work
🛠 Electronics testing benches
🍎 Classic Mac Pro setups
🎥 Video-monitoring projects
Why This Monitor Stands Out
The FHD2400 was designed as more than a basic office screen. It combines a large 24-inch panel with a useful 1920 × 1200 workspace and a wide range of inputs—features that are increasingly difficult to find together on inexpensive modern monitors.
The substantial stand and distinctive black-and-silver Gateway styling also give it more character than today's thin, minimalist displays.
This is a particularly practical option for someone who needs to connect both older and newer equipment without constantly changing adapters.
Current Trends Driving Interest
✔ Retro Computing Is Growing – Enthusiasts are rebuilding Windows XP, early Intel Mac and classic gaming systems with period-correct displays.
✔ 16:10 Monitors Remain Desirable – Creative professionals and productivity users continue to seek the extra vertical workspace.
✔ Legacy Connections Are Disappearing – VGA, component and composite inputs are difficult to find on modern computer monitors.
✔ Multi-Input Workstations – Older premium monitors can be ideal for studios and repair benches handling several signal formats.
✔ Y2K Technology Is Collectible Again – Distinctive late-2000s electronics are increasingly appreciated for their industrial design and functionality.
Ideal Uses
- Editing-station second monitor
- Vintage gaming display
- Retro Mac or PC setup
- Security-camera monitor
- Workshop or repair-bench display
- Music studio screen
- Home-office monitor
- Console and computer combination setup
- Prop or set-dressing piece for a late-2000s production
