659287 2008-04-15 23:32:00 Hi all

I am considering buying an LCD Monitor to replace my 17 CRT.

I can get 19" 4 x 3 format monitors quite easily and I know they will work fine but I rather fancy a wide screen such as a 20" which are 1680 x 1050 pixels in size

My computer is quite fast enough and I have plenty of memory but the Graphics card is a slug compared to modern ones Its a 64 meg GeForce MX440 but I am not a gamer so vast capacity and speed is not an issue. I do however do quite a bit of Photo editing.

It has been suggested that the Card may not be up to running that sort of resolution and I wonder if any of you guys have had any experience with this sort of setup and care to comment

Many Thanks

659289 2008-04-16 05:11:00 should be fine. I plan on getting a 24" 1920x1200 running on my Geforce 4 Ti 4200. utopian201 (6245)
