Hi Guys,
My computer Monitor is going bad and I would like to get a flat screen to replace it, but haven't a clue! Could you give some pointers. Thanks Indy:salute:

Dont know if that card supports HD or not.

Its getting to where its hard to find a non HD monitor anymore.

Usually there is adapters with the monitor to fit non HD cards.

My years old Radeon 9800 pro is HDTV-ready and has DVI-I connector.

Sure you can use them but its hard to find a resolution that doesent either stretch the display, leave black sides on the screen, or have to pan the display around to get to the edges.

Im not just talking about the HDMI port.

Hi indy :DL First off this should be in the Hardware\Software forum.

Since you live in Florida, TigerDirect will charge you sales tax so you might want to look in NewEgg's website for best deal and save on tax.

Also check on Amazon when you settle on a Monitor and see if they have it at a better price and save on tax also and maybe free Super Saver Shipping.

The adapter some here mentioned is called a Dangle and comes with some Vid cards but, is also available everywhere computer parts are sold cheap. Also can be got at the above sources.

Hope this helps. P.S. Don't forget you can go to Amazon thru SubSim and help Neal out at NO extra cost to you.

Happy Shopping and be sure to show us what you get. :DL
