One trouble I found (sometimes not all the time) is that, the video driver may not let you set the appropriate screen resolution for the wide screen (16X10 instead of 4X3). Usually, a updated driver will fix the problem.

Added: make sure the new LCD has both D-SUB and DVI input.

I used to be indecisive, now I am not sure.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20999692 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 15:20:40 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20999607 Jahntassa : The onboard video card will be fine.

For what it's worth, going from 800x600 to 1024x768 won't give them a wider view. You actually need to use a widescreen resolution. Regardless, it should work fine.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20999607 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 14:59:05 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20999083 Joe12345678 : If the on board video is VGA only then a big screen at that res may look bad. Get a video card with DVI and use DVI to hook up the display.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20999083 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 12:31:22 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20998703 Ken Peterson : The 22" is probably running at 1680 x 1050 native resolution. You won't know until you try it, whether or not the internal video will be sufficient. You should be OK. I have a 20" widescreen at work with only 8MB video memory and it works OK.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20998703 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 10:41:18 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20998658 djdanska : I had video cards with 64Mb and less and ran 1024x768 and even higher without a problem. You should be ok.

When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20998658 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 10:24:41 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20998507 chad0404 : My parents need a new larger monitor for their old Dell computer. Their computer currently has a 17" CRT monitor and 64Mb of Intel integrated graphics with their resolution set at 800x600. I found a nice 22" LCD monitor on sale but the guy at OfficeMax said it would need a new video card in order to run the monitor at a decent resolution. I was hoping to simply hook up the new monitor and run it at 1024x768 so they can at least get a wider view of web pages. Would I be better to get them a 19" monitor maybe?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20998507 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 09:30:16 EDT
