Will this lcd monitor work with my 7 year old computer?

Q. Hi I'm planning to buy this 20 inch Acer monitor at Best Buy tomorrow since its on sale for $99 which is a great deal, but I was wondering if this monitor will even work with my 7 year old emachines desktop that has an Intel graphics cars of 64MB a pretty sh*tt* graphics card I know but will it work or does the monitor have nothing to do with the graphics card?

Also the current monitor I have is a 17 inch emachines CRT monitor that is killing my eyes

Will it work if my computer has a DVI port on the back of my tower

A. Yes, your computer and that monitor will work together just fine. The monitor comes with both a D-Sub (VGA) & DVI connector to allow either hookup, so as long as you have either a VGA or DVI video port on your computer you will be able to hook it up and use it without problem.

The only possible limitation is that your current video card may not be able to run the new monitor at the recommended resolution of 1600x900, but you can certainly still run it at a lower resolution that your video card does support and it won't be a problem.


What LCD monitor would you recommend for me?
Q. Any brand is fine, but I would like to have one with a 2ms response time (since I'll be gaming), at least a 1000:1 contrast ratio, a resolution of 1680 x 1050 (or one that you recommend), at least 20" and be around $200 (or no more than $250) please.

Just let me know if you have any suggestions, thanks!

A. I have the superexpensive $500 to $600 24" Dell Ultrasharp LCD sitting on my desk at work that has the adjustable sturdy stand and USBs. Our Agency tends to overkill bec we soon will all workers will be also getting new Dell Latitude Notebook PCs with docking stations as well.

At home I went out & bought a 22" Dell LCD monitor for my new Dell XPS Studio XMT 435 that 6GB DDR3 memory and a 512MB ATI video card and surprisingly the pic is even clearer and better than at my pic at work...implying that a good LCD monitor also needs a good video card.

Bottomline, what I like about the Dell LCD monitors is their sturdier stand but we also have other Dell/Sony desktop PCs at home and recently bought a highly rated 22" LG Flatron LCD on sale at Best Buy from $289 to $189 plus tax. FYI there are so many LCD monitors on the market and the prices for 22" LCD monitors are very competitive that soon it will be like 1080p HDTVs <= we now have 2 and personally I wouldn't recommend going overboard bec technology is rapidly coming out with new models.

Hope the Above Info Helps!
