If you’re reading this while staring at a boxey, not-so-bright screen, it might be time for an upgrade. Gateway just announced that they’ve got two new monitors that provide a super-cool high-def picture, without having to clog up your workspace.

The 24-inch FHD2400 boasts 1080p HD support with a 1920 x 1200 resolution. It also has an Ultrabright Glare panel with a 92-percent color gamut, for lifelike images. Other features include a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 400 cd/m2 brightness and a 3ms refresh rate—all for $550.

If you’re looking to spend a little less, the 22-inch HD2200 offers a little less, with 720p HD and a 1680 x 1050. It also has a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness and a 4ms refresh rate. Not too shabby for $350.

Each unit also has DCDi by Faroudja video processing, picture-in-picture features, built-in High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) and a DVI-D interface.
