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

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.
