DLSS Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 ok so my monitor is borked, it was a 19" 4:3 (so no widescreen) now i plan on going to get one i saw in an ad of the local mediamarket (they suck but r affordable) saw a nice lcd display for €150 fitting my budget, odd thing was the size, its 21.6" i kno monitors of 21" and 22" even ones of 21.3", but 21.6" seems an odd size , and am wondering what the max res'd be and if i'd run into any probs >.> Thnx in advance :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forced Request Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I was not familiar with this size either, a quick google search will give you the info you are looking for. Also, don't see why you would have any problems assuming your GFX card can handle the resolution, which it should be able to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 The physical size will not matter, the resolution is the only thing you need to worry about, and even then pretty much every graphics card will work fine with just about any resolution, so no worries.

Sparda Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Grab it's model number, find it's native resolution using google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swathe Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I'd be surprised if a card couldn't do the native resolutioon and even though listed at a strange size, I would guess it would use a standard resolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLSS Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 thanks a lot all :) ^_^ Grab it's model number, find it's native resolution using google. did :) its the AOC 2216Sw and aparently the rez = 1680x1050 . unfortunately today i went n paid an advance, wich i now hope i can get back , cos i've noticed a lot of bad reviews, and the prob it only has a vga port (wtf? who does tht these days) wich wasn't mentioned in the ad , while my videocard has 2 DVI connectors , and i'm not planning to stick a fugly adapter between it , or let it degrade my image quality ... ffs shouldn't 've paid the advance. :( ps the orig ad : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erson Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 It really has no importance your monitor size only the resolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 It really has no importance your monitor size only the resolution. and that the resolution you are using matches the aspect ratio of the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
