So I upgraded my display... used to have an old NEC A900 19", it was just old & getting darker and darker...
I just bought a Viewsonic VX2235wm 22" WS (http://www.viewsonic.com/products/desktopdisplays/lcddisplays/xseries/vx2235wm/), it's really pretty and the color it excellent. It has a max/optimal/native resolution of 1680x1050. I currently run my desktop @ 1024x768 cause I'm half blind and it doesn't look that bad, but it is a bit stretched.
Of course my current intergrated SiS 651 doesn't support the native resolution so I'm trying to find a new video card that will. I don't seem to be able to find a card that will support the native resolution of 1680x1050.
I am probably being hampered by the fact my motherboard is older and would need to get an AGP 4X, 1.5V card. All the cards I look @ don't support 1680x1050, some have resolutions that are close but none spot on.
am I looking for something that doesn't exist? I've read that for this monitor ATI is bad, nVidia is good. I can't seem to find one that will fit the bill.
help!
