Gateway FPD1765 computer monitor

The product shown is a Gateway FPD1765, a 17-inch flat-panel TFT LCD computer monitor characterized by its distinctive silver bezel and a square 5:4 (often referred to as 4:3) aspect ratio. Originally a staple of the desktop computing market in the early to mid-2000s, Gateway was a leading American computer hardware company known for its cow-spotted packaging.

Historically, Gateway was founded in 1985 in Sioux City, Iowa, as Gateway 2000. It grew into one of the most successful PC direct-marketers in the United States before facing financial difficulties in the 2000s. In 2007, the brand was acquired by the Taiwanese electronics giant Acer Inc. While the original Gateway company is defunct, the brand has been periodically revived by Acer for various product lines, including a 2020 relaunch through retailers like Walmart. Manufacturing of Gateway monitors during this era typically occurred in multiple locations across Asia, including China and Taiwan, through various original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
