| I'm Diggin it!  | Re: Looking for advice on a new monitor I got a Dell 2407FWP not too long ago. Played everything from Flgiht Sim X to Need for Speed on over to COD4, HL2 and so on. Everything looks fantastic on this thing. Lots of connection options, no HDMI...but I can live with that. OSD controls are great and extremely little edge bleed through. But you aren't going to get it for $450. Those things run $599 on sale. But after having gotten used to it, I can't stand using anything smaller. Thing is, I don't know how well that 1900 of yours will push that sucker. Its native res is 1920x1200. I recommend an 8800GTS 640Mb class video card, or better.

| Re: Looking for advice on a new monitor oh and you'll wanna upgrade your vid card like Quakin says, anything below a 8800GTS/HD3870 will not run at 1920X1200 well at all. (thanks blake!) |
