743223	2009-01-30 00:46:00	Its time for a new lcd as the old crt is playing up. We use our computer for general web surfing/email and the kids play runescape online but no other gaming at this stage. It has an ECS GeForce 7050M-M motherboard and there is no graphics card and we just use the integrated graphics. The chipset is nvidia 7050PV/630a. There is a VGA but no DVI connection. Cpu is Athlon64x2 6000. 2gig ddr800. I am looking at getting a 22" screen. My question is what resolution screen would the current setup realistically support? I have been told that it would struggle to run a 1920x1200 screen and text from web etc. would be small. Would a 1680x1050 or 1440x900 screen be best? The motherboard manual doesnt say what is supported and I have checked the ECS and Nvidia websites. Any recommendations for screens? Samsung and LG generally have good reports from what I have read. Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.	fuzzee (13826)

743225	2009-01-30 01:26:00	ECS GeForce 7050M-M motherboard I am looking at getting a 22" screen . Oh bad luck . The monitor you buy has a native resolution which is what it should be displaying in . Most 22"s are 1680x1050 but some may be higher . Look up the graphics chipset and see what it can support . Should be OK .	pctek (84)
743226	2009-01-30 01:32:00	Hey, bro's PC, 2 or 3yr old, builtin graphics could do 1920x1200 reso with a 24" HD panel. Check it out .. google your mobo or video card.	Nomad (952)
743227	2009-01-30 01:54:00	Duh, I just posted the chipset supports HD!!, he will be fine up to 1920x1080!	SolMiester (139)
743228	2009-01-30 02:00:00	Duh, I just posted the chipset supports HD!!, he will be fine up to 1920x1080! he/she will be fine up to 1920x1080!:rolleyes:	hueybot3000 (3646)
743229	2009-01-30 02:20:00	Would a 1680x1050 or 1440x900 screen be best?On a 22-inch monitor the PPI (en.wikipedia.org) will be really low with both those resolutions. 1440x900 is ideal for 17 inch monitors, 1680x1050 for 20-inch and 1920x1200 for 22/23/24-inch monitors. Probably don't want to go much higher until your operating system supports resolution independence unless you have really, really good eyes. :p	maccrazy (6741)
