Q. I am not very familiar with the relationship between monitors and graphics cards (since i do not have a graphics card). I need help in getting the right kind of graphics card that would successfully support a samsung LCD monitor (1920 by 1200). If it helps, I have Windows XP.
Can I use nvidia?
Please help me out!

A. Almost any graphics card you get today will support that resolution.
I would recommend getting one with a DVI connection, if your monitor supports DVI-D, as this will give a better picture.
The difference in all the video chipsets out there is the difference in the level of graphics acceleration. Useful for gaming or if you do tasks that use a lot of graphics horsepower like 3D modeling.
If that is not a problem to you then get one at the price point you feel comfortable with. If you are going to run Vista more graphics memory is possibility more important than more acceleration.

Best 30" lcd monitor for graphics work?
Q. Hi,
Anyone can please give me some recommendation on a very good 30" lcd monitor. Price is not important as long as it worths it.
The ones I have found on the web are Dell, Apple, Samsung, HP and Acer.
Thanks!

A. For Graphics work our Studio uses Apple's Cinema Displays. The dot pitch is .250mm on the 30" LCD which is really fine for a 30" display and the screen supports 14ms refresh which is good enough even if you're capturing or editing fast action video scenes. The maximum resolution supported by the screen is 2560X1600 so you'll need a video card to match. The downside to such high resolutions is that you may need to get prescription glasses because everything is so small. We use the GretagMacbeth Eye-one to colour calibrate our screens which is a big plus.
The thin border also gives your eye the impression that the screen is larger than it is. Having said that when you sit less than 3 feet away from a 30" screen it is big!
If you don't own a Mac you'll also need a MAC DVI to PC DVI convertor and you'll also need a graphics card that can support such high resolutions. The NVidia 7600GT, 7900 and 7950 cards all support up to 2560X1600 but the 7600GT only supports it on one of the two DVI connectors! The ATi graphics cards also support such a high resolution but I'd start with the X1800 range and go up from there. ATi deliver better overall quality picture for 2D surfaces than Nvidia but you'd need to read a few reviews and see them running side by side to know there was a difference!
Hope this helps
