    g450 16meg and LCD Wide Screen

    Still hanging on to my G450. I have my eye on Dells 2005FPW Wide Screen LCD which runs in WSXGA+ resolution (1680 x 1050) .

    It has VGA as well as DVI inputs so I know that's not a problem. My question is, will the G450 and drivers support that 1680 X 1050 resolution? I don't see it in the list of possibilities under Window 2000, but I don't think that proves much.

    Anyone running an LCD on this Card care to comment?

    just add the resolution with MTSTU, should work fine.

    And there's always powerstrip

      If you're going to spend that kind of money on a monitor, get a decent DVI-capable video card to go with it. LCDs look much worse in analog.

        I'm sure you're right about DVI vs. Analog. I've been procrastinating about building a new 64 bit box, and don't want to waste $ on a vid card for the current setup.

        The LCD thing is on hold anyway, missed the DELL sale by a day .

            Yeah, but they can't output a digital signal to drive that large of a screen.
