A Samsung Tv, possible monitor. Graphic card resolution question.

basically, I could be having a 28" in the near future. However, I only have a ATI Radeon 2600 card, will this card be able to run the tv at its native res(presumably bigger than a 22"monitor i have now) or do i need a better card?

will be fine
2600XT supports 2560x1600 28" is only 1920x1200

If it's a Samsung 28" TV you're getting, then it'll most likey be a much lower res (1280x720 possibly) than the monitor you're currently using... and will have a much lower pixel pitch etc

right, i have just found the manual. the resolution is 1368x768
Now I have no idea about screen resolutions etc, but how would that look the tv? oh and its 32", i thought it was 28". will the screen look fine etc, it just seems a weird pixel to me. or, does anybody no were you can find screenshots of particular monitors at certain resolutions? to give me an idea?

that's a standard 16:9 resolution - for displaying your PC on it... well... it'll look pretty big (as in, the icons, text etc).

Can't find any photos to illustrate at the moment...
